Facebook sued for $15 billion over subscriber tracking

Facebook users in California have filed a lawsuit against the social network seeking damages for invasion of their privacy and improper tracking. The suit consolidates 21 related cases filed in more than a dozen states in 2011 and early 2012 alleging that Facebook tracked internet use of its members even after they logged out of their accounts. Lawyers in the suit seek up to USD 10,000 for each Facebook user, or more than $15 billion. Source
