Mark Zuckerberg and current and former high-ranking employees at Meta settled claims that sought $8 billion for damages caused by repeatedly allowing violations of Facebook users’ privacy.

A lawyer for the shareholders told Judge Kathaleen McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery on Thursday that the case has settled. Details of the settlement were not disclosed, and defense lawyers did not address the judge, according to Reuters.
