CNET: Facebook files three antispam lawsuits
‘The lawsuits, filed Tuesday, allege that Jason Swan of Long Island, N.Y., had been running “more than 27 fake profiles, 13 fake pages, and at least 7 applications as part of an affiliate marketing advertising scam”; that Richter, also of Long Island, had been running about 40 fake profiles and 43 fake pages; and that the Canada-based Max Bounty Inc. had been misappropriating Facebook’s logo and using deceptive marketing in its hawking of free gift cards, iPads, and other goods to consumers. All three are charged with violations of the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM), and other state and federal laws.’
