I'm in the wrong industry. I need to go file a few class actions and pretend to care about the plaintiffs.

Somebody is trying to get a settlement out of court. Sigh.

Funny how they think this will work. Ever hear of an EULA? Yea... every person agreed to whatever terms FB made when they signed up. This is a very desperate grab for money. It's a shame this is what America has become... Just a bunch of wigs suing each other for money any chance they can get.

@ robax91 That was my exact thought when I first saw the title. <joke> Now I'm going to sue you for "mining" my thoughts without my permissions. </joke>

Yes it's a shame and outrageous claim and obviously just a money grab with no proof. But @robax91 don't say it's what America has become, unless that's what you WANT America to become. Two bad apples doesn't make all other Americans take the downfall for it.

What a bunch of Wankers!
Get a life and create something rather than always trying to scam someone else with your legal bullshit.
As a FB user, I choose to opt out of you fucked up class action, so now you are representing my without my consent and against my will.

Seriously, leave facebook now! If you're totally oblivious to privacy-based sites, then check out some of these: Ravetree, DuckDuckGo, HushMail, and there are many more.

Probably be Googlemail next as they scan all the emails to deliver advertising. They also scan all your searches to deliver advertising, if that isn't profiling for profit I don't know what is.

Even if found guilty, they will pay out a couple of million dollars to places life EFF to keep the judge happy and the it's business as usual!
