Most of internet
users are not ready to read the ‘terms and conditions’ before they SignUp any
accounts in the internet. Many companies in the internet like social networks,
mail service providers are clearly stated that companies are allowed to track
any data’s of users they surf in the internet for some reasons, but the users
are not taking seriously about the issue and not showing interest on that. This
subject made a user to file a case against social networking company, Facebook
Inc.
Facebook
is the largest social networking company in the world, which display the ads in
their user’s pages. Facebook display the ads on the users page according to the
users browsing history, Facebook also tracks the data’s of users browsing
history after they logged out from the Facebook page. For these reasons a user
has filled a case against Facebook in US District court in San Jose, California.
US
District Judge Edward Davila dismissed the case against Facebook, US judge stated
that the plaintiffs in the case has failed to display any loss of privacy or
that they suffered any economic loss or any harm in the court. Here the
plaintiffs claimed that social networking company Facebook violated the law of federal
and California privacy and wiretapping by installing cookies on their web
browsers that tracked when they visited other websites containing the Facebook like
buttons.
For that claim, the US judge
said the plaintiffs should have taken steps to keep their web browsing data’s
safely and if he failed to keep safe by expose any privacy browsing histories then
that would be the plaintiff’s risk. US court judge Davila said that again the
plaintiffs cannot bring this case, but he could try to follow an agreement of
contract claim again.
