I wonder what percentage of that $167M will go to the ~1400 victims of this hack (that we know about)

None. WhatsApp has stated it will give to a privacy advocacy organization
Whose urgent warnings on privacy concerns will be ignored by everyone, as usual.
0? I understood that the plaintiff is what'sapp. Not sure if it's for damages or punitive.

The victims are probably not citizens of the US so they would be outside of this jurisdiction. That's between those two countries. The reason it's going to the US court is because it occured in US cyberturf (Meta's servers)
