SNAP
Illinois Snapchat users could receive payouts of between $58 and $117 in a class-action privacy settlement reached this month by Snap Inc., the Chicago Tribune's Talia Soglin reported yesterday. The suit claims lenses and filters on the platform collect and store users' biometric data without their informed consent in violation of the state's biometric privacy law, which is among the strictest in the nation, the author notes. Illinois residents who have users such features on Snapchat since November 17, 2015 could be eligible for a piece of the $35M settlement, Soglin says.Reference Link

Snap price target lowered to $19 from $26 at Loop Capital 09:14
SNAP
Loop Capital analyst Alan Gould lowered the firm's price target on Snap to $19 from $26 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a broader research note updating estimates for digital advertising platform names. The analyst notes that the advertising activity has been "somewhat mixed" during the summer doldrums, with many online consumer businesses that boomed during COVID now "comping negative". Sanderson further contends that the monetization ramp at TikTok is having some cannibalization effect on other social media platforms, including Meta and Snapchat.
