Facebook Faces Privacy Violations Class Action

Baltimore, MD: Facebook, Inc., the social networking website with more than 800 million users worldwide, unlawfully tracked the internet activities of its users, according to allegations in an internet lawsuit filed on February 17.

According to the lawsuit, Facebook ignored repeated inquiries from an internet technology and security blogger who discovered that the unique identifiers Facebook uses to identify its members continued to track their internet usage even after they had logged off of Facebook.com.

Facebook's actions were unlawful, the lawsuit claims, because the terms of use and privacy policies posted on Facebook.com advised Facebook members that their post-log-out internet activities were not tracked. The lawsuit alleges Facebook's actions violated several Federal and State laws, including the Federal Wiretap Act, the California Internet Privacy Requirements Act, and the California Unfair Competition Law.
