Facebook has successfully settled a 2011 privacy suit, according to a Reuters report, paying $20 million to a class action group who claim the Sponsored Stories program violated their privacy. The terms of the settlement also require Facebook to change the program so as to give users more control over how their content is shared, which the plaintiffs estimate could cost Facebook as much as $145 million.
