Can someone confirm whether this is legit or a phishing scam?

I've found a link pointing to this website on uscourts.gov, so it does appear to be valid as far as I can tell. It is sad these websites are made to look like phishing scams though.

Unfortunately, all class action website URLs are like this. They are suspicious as hell but I blame lawyers for lack of creativity

I looked into it, it's not available for Canadians anyway. Oh well

I wouldn’t bother - accepting settlements excludes you from future lawsuits in some cases, just FYI

Is this only for Facebook or their other services like Instagram too?
