Judge Dismisses Class Action Lawsuit Over Facebooks Friend Finder Feature

facebookA class action lawsuit filed against Facebook over its FriendFinder feature was dismissed yesterday by a California federal judge. In the case of Robyn Cohen, et al. v. Facebook, a group of the network's members alleged that Facebook misappropriated users' names and likenesses to promote its Friend Finder service, which suggests new Facebook friends to a user who chooses to upload his or her email contacts. The Robyn Cohen case was actually dismissed previously on June 28, 2011, but the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. Thursdays order dismissed this complaint. The judge ruled that the plaintiffs did not show any economic harm from Facebook's alleged use of their names and likenesses.
