Facebook could be forced to pay users up to $10,000 USD each for violating their privacy if a new lawsuit is successful.
A judge in the US District Court ruled on Wednesday that a class-action suit against the social media giant can proceed.
According to the lawsuit, originally filed in December 2013, Facebook scanned the content of users’ private messages for advertising purposes, violating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and California’s privacy and unfair competition laws.
