Social network beast Facebook is now being charged in California by two consumers who declare the corporation intercepts “substance of …users’ communications.”

According to the class action court case, started by Matthew Campbell and Michael Hurley, Facebook has allegedly driven against the Electronic Communications Privacy Act as well as many California state laws.
The basis of the pretenders’ grievance is that Facebook’s use of the phrase “private” is ambiguous when applied to its individual internal messaging program.

Campbell besides Hurley claims the corporation scans confidential messages to be aware of any URLs contained by them. The plaintiffs’ further assert the business follows links that it discovers as part of the swarming procedure, which it has not clearly disclosed to consumers of its service.
