75 million to the US under the Justice Department's settlement and pay up to $9.5 million to eligible victims of Facebook's alleged discrimination, and train its employees on the anti-discrimination requirements of the INA. A list of individuals eligible for compensation will be determined by the Civil Rights Division and Facebook, a DOJ official said.
