Facebook sues Canadian adult Web site for illegal data mining
Facebook is suing a group of people and a Canadian aadult Web site publisher for allegedly trying to mine the social networking site for its users' personal data. In the case, which was brought about in a San Jose court last June, Facebook claims that servers controlled by the defendants used automated scripts "to gain unauthorized access to Facebook's 'friend finder' functionality," to make more than 200,000 requests for personal information stored on Facebook's site.
