Facebook faces nationwide class action tracking cookie lawsuit

Facebook is once again being sued for tracking its users even after they logged out of the service. This new nationwide class action lawsuit alleges the company violated federal wiretap laws.

Facebook users are suing the social networking giant over allegations that it violates federal wiretap laws. In addition to several lawsuits filed in multiple states, including Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi, the company is now facing a nationwide class action lawsuit. Law firms Murphy PA and Girard Gibbs have made their case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accusing Facebook of continuing to ignore concerns over its tracking cookies. They argue the company violates its own privacy policy, which states post-log-out activity is not tracked by the social networking giant.

Good one :) Pretty much true also! I dont mess with FB it's a waste of time and it sux, but i set up a biz acct with fake name a long time ago and I noticed they said where i went to college in 1995 for a bit and it was correct even though i used a fake name, maybe they followed the who is on domain in email addy i forget if i used that to sign up or a gmail or yahoo, but fuck facebook.

I was part of a class action suit against the CIBC. I'll get my money in ten years.

The internet is dead, get over it.

People install apps without reading the TOS then get upset because the app does what it says it will do. Perfect.
