A settlement was reached and filed in the T-Mobile US Inc. data breach class action lawsuit. As part of the settlement, T-Mobile denies any wrongdoing. In August of 2021, T-Mobile announced a data breach of its systems that affected more than 76.6 million customers, which included former and prospective customers. The breach accessed sensitive data such as Social Security numbers, names, addresses, birth dates, and driver’s license information.
The settlement states that T-Mobile is to pay $350 million with an added $150 million to go towards data security upgrades. Eligible class members may receive $25, or $100 for California residents. Some members may also receive up to $25,000 for out-of-pocket losses. All class members may receive two years of identity theft protection.
The class settlement has not been approved by the court yet.

A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of older workers who seek to sue a defendant class of all employers and employment agencies who use Facebooks’ ad placement tools to direct ads to younger workers to the exclusion of older workers. The Communication Workers Union and other plaintiffs allege that employers that do this are engaging in disparate treatment. 
A proposed class action complaint filed in California federal court on December 20, 2017, alleges that T-Mobile, Amazon, and hundreds of other companies are discriminating against older workers by limiting the audience for their Facebook advertisements to only reach younger users.
