No frigging chance.

let me go USE a SOCIAL network and then sue, ya OK

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I should take inn and out to court because they are slowly poisoning me with their fast food.

Why not... You go use something that's free and than sue the owner and get some extra cash!

Imagine that only 1% of pornhub user sued them for allowing them to watch too much free porn! :1orglaugh

On a related note, how is sexsearch getting away with that "Facebook of Sex" shit?

Well, not really familiar with that particular issue but I did talk to some people at Ad Tech that had a very close relationship as far as the name was concerned.

When I asked them how FB felt about it, they did not seem to have a problem with it as it reminded people of FB.

Who was doing the "Napster of Porn" shit years ago? I saw them doing it for what seemed like eons and you'd think SOMEONE at Napster (or Facebook in this case) would get wind of it and sue, but I guess they don't see it as damaging?

If you actually read the article you'll see it's about privacy concerns, not addiction.

Who said anything about addiction? :error

thats the usa for ya, if you are successful people will try to sue you for something

gotta love moronic lawsuits

only in america dont you just love the bullshit that goes on in the country. there should be a "shut the fuck up and go away" law when people file bullshit lawsuits. what a waste of time of the legal system.

and yes i read the article, all of those idiots were never forced to join facebook. just cancel your account and move on. 11yo joining facebook wtf sue the parent for being fucking idiots.

Signing up to any social netowrk site means exactly that.

Fucking idiots!!

after these people lose they should be made to pay all court and lawyer fees.

Some of the law suits these days are just way to funny to be taken seriously...

Out of all of the plaintiffs in this suit, the one who 'may' actually have a case was the chick who joined when it was limited to college kids, after they opened it up to everyone it could be argued that her profile was available to be viewed by individuals that were not supposed to be able to view it at the date she joined i.e, she was networking with a college crowd, then FaceBook changed the rules and allowed everyone in.

How bored were you today?

"The remaining plaintiffs are young boys that the suit charges should not have been permitted by Facebook to join or post images or comments.

Facebook requires members to be ages 13 or older, but there is no viable tool to confirm ages of those creating accounts.

One plaintiff is an 11-year-old boy who joined Facebook and then posted that he had swine flu and uploaded pictures or video of "partially-clothed" children swimming, according to the lawsuit."


What a load of crap. Sounds more like if there really is a boy someone put him up to it. Since when can a 11 year old be a party to a lawsuit anyway? Or is this trying to set some sort of precedent? A reverse "catch a predator" sting. I could give a shit less about facebook myself but there sure seems to be a lot of this BS going on lately.

Once she saw it was growing, she had the choice to delete her account.. or remove info that she felt was private..
an argument that's sure to pop up..

There is no viable tool to confirm ages of members. Honestly, if you think about it - children on gfy are a bigger problem. Sure, they ask you to be 18 to join the forum, but there's no viable tool to confirm the age. And gfy ain't facebook, muthafucka.
