Facebook Faces Lawsuit Over Unauthorized Sharing Of User Data With Advertisers
A judge yesterday threw out most of the claims made in a lawsuit against Facebook, in which two California individuals, David Gould and Mike Robertson, accused the social networking giant of sharing their names and other private information with some advertisers in direct violation of its own privacy policy.That said, the judge also ruled the lawsuit will not be dismissed in its entirety either, as Facebook had pleaded.In October last year, The Wall Street Journal 'uncovered' that some of the most popular apps on the platform had been sharing certain information, including real names, age, hometown, gender or other details with advertising and Internet tracking companies.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Ueh5pJf8Y5Q/
