Facebook’s corporate parent has reached a tentative settlement in a case alleging the world’s largest social network service allowed the personal information of millions of its users to be fed to Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump’s victorious presidential campaign in 2016.

Terms of the settlement reached by Meta Platforms, the holding company for Facebook and Instagram, were not disclosed in court documents filed late Friday.
