therecord.media German court says victims of massive Facebook data breach can be compensated

According to a statement from the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH), users can claim around €100 ($105) for the breach even if the data obtained by the hackers wasn’t misused or caused any harm.

A German court ruled on Monday that thousands of local Facebook users affected by a massive data breach in 2021 are eligible for compensation.

Do affected people also get a check of a whopping $3.96 in Germany? Or is that just a US thing?
- Its 100€ if you can not prove that any harm was done. It could be more with proof (ie spam call logs etc)
  
  Hey, that's really good then. Minimum of a hundred bucks is good with me.
