eBay agreed to pay nearly $50 million to Massachusetts journalists David and Ina Steiner under a newly finalized settlement resolving a lawsuit over a 2019 cyberstalking campaign carried out by former company employees. The agreement follows the collapse of an earlier tentative settlement and also includes $7 million in charitable contributions, including donations supporting First Amendment causes, and no confidentiality provision, allowing the Steiners to speak publicly about the case. As part of the settlement, eBay issued a statement apologizing for the harassment, calling it “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened” and acknowledging the “unprofessional tone” of communications by several former executives.

Mount Olympus, the mythological home of ancient Greece’s 12 Olympian gods, may soon join UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
