Lane v. Facebook, Inc.
''Lane v. Facebook '' was a class-action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California regarding internet privacy and social media.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.docketalarm.com/cases/California_Northern_District_Court/5--08-cv-03845/Lane_et_al_v_Facebook_Inc_et_al/ )〕 In December 2007, Facebook launched Beacon, which resulted in user's private information being posted on Facebook without consent. A simultaneous class-action lawsuit in Texas, ''Harris v. Blockbuster Inc.'', also alleged injuries based on Facebook's Beacon. Facebook ended up terminating the Beacon program, and created a $9.5 million fund for privacy and security. There was no money awarded to Facebook users that were affected negatively by the Beacon program.
== Background ==
Plaintiff Sean Lane represented the class of Facebook users who had visited Beacon sites. In 2007, he purchased an intended surprise diamond ring from Overstock.com for his wife. Without his knowledge, this purchase was broadcast to hundreds of people in his network on Facebook, including his wife. The Beacon feature was opt-out; in order to disable the feature, one had to understand the privacy controls on Facebook as well as all of its 40+ affiliate sites.〔(Lane et al v. Facebook, Inc. et al., Class Action Complaint. ) Filed August 12, 2008.〕 There was also no option to turn off the service permanently.〔Nakashima, Ellen. ''(Feeling Betrayed, Facebook Users Force Site to Honor Their Privacy )''. ''The Washington Post'', November 30, 2007.〕 For Facebook, the feature was intended to be a "completely new way of advertising online."〔
The Beacon feature remained turned on by default, until December 2007, when Facebook instituted new privacy controls. The lawsuit concerns the window of time before those easier-to-understand controls were implemented.〔McCarthy, Caroline. ''(Class action suit means Facebook's Beacon just won't go away )''. ''CNET News.'', August 14, 2008.〕
The feature was heavily criticized by security experts and privacy advocates.〔Perez, Juan Carlos. ''(Facebook Will Shut Down Beacon to Settle Lawsuit )''. ''The New York Times'', September 19, 2009.〕 Security researchers found that Beacon transmitted data even if the user was logged out of Facebook.〔Perez, Juan Carlos. ''(Facebook's Beacon More Intrusive Than Previously Thought )'' ''IDG News'', November 30, 2007.〕 MoveOn.org, a civic action political group, posted a petition objecting to the new program, that gathered the signatures of over 50,000 Facebook members in 10 days.〔Story, Louise. ''(Facebook Retreats on Online Tracking )''. ''The New York Times'', November 30, 2007.〕
