Question Facebook Internet Tracking Settlement

Did anyone else get this notice?

---------------
If you are a person who, between April 22, 2010 and September 26, 2011, inclusive, were a Facebook User in the United States who visited non-Facebook websites that displayed the Facebook Like button, you may be eligible for a payment from a Class Action Settlement.
________________________________________

A federal court authorized this Notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

A Settlement has been reached between Defendant Meta Platforms, Inc., formerly Facebook, Inc. (“Meta” or “Defendant”) and Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
You are included in this Settlement as a Settlement Class Member if, between April 22, 2010 and September 26, 2011 inclusive, you were a Facebook User in the United States who visited non-Facebook websites that displayed the Facebook Like button.
The lawsuit is known as In Re Facebook Internet Tracking Litigation, Case No. 5:12-MD-02314-EJD (N.D. California). Defendant denies that it violated any law but has agreed to the Settlement to avoid the costs and risks associated with continuing this case.
Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Please read this Notice carefully.

There's a bunch more info including this:

-------------
The Honorable Edward J. Davila of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California is overseeing this class action. The case is known as In Re Facebook Internet Tracking Litigation, Case No. 5:12-MD-02314-EJD (N.D. Cal.). The people that filed this lawsuit are called the “Plaintiffs” and the company they sued, Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.), is called the “Defendant.”

2. What is this lawsuit about?

This lawsuit alleges that the Defendant improperly obtained and collected data from Facebook Users in the United States who visited non-Facebook websites that displayed the Facebook Like button between April 22, 2010 and September 26, 2011, inclusive. The Defendant expressly denies any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever.

The deadline to file is Monday the 12th. I haven't done anything and wonder if it's worth pursuing at all. Thanks for your thoughts!
