VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 23, 2026 /CNW/ — On October 13, 2026, settlement has been approved in a certified class action before the Supreme Court of British Columbia – Severs v Hyp3R Inc., Vancouver Registry No. VLC-S-S-205425. This class action involved an alleged breach of privacy from scraping of Instagram profiles. The class action included all persons located in Canada (excluding Quebec) who were users of Instagram with profile setting set to public at between April 4, 2018 and November 22, 2021.

There will be no distribution to class members considering the nominal individual sums. There will be no claims process, and NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.
