	<title>Facebook Axes "Beacon," Donates $9.5M To Settle Suit</title>
	<author>kdawson</author>

	<htmltext>alphadogg sends in a Network World piece that begins <i>"<a href="http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48852?hpg1=bn">Facebook has agreed to shut down</a> a program that sparked a lawsuit alleging privacy violations, and set up a $9.5M fund for a nonprofit foundation that will support online privacy, safety, and security. The lawsuit centers around Facebook's Beacon program, which let third-party Web sites distribute 'stories' about users to Facebook. Beacon was launched in November 2007 and less than a year later plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit 'alleging that Facebook and its affiliates did not give users adequate notice and choice about Beacon and the collection and use of users' personal information.' ... Facebook never admitted wrongdoing but as part of a proposed settlement the company began sending notices to Facebook users this week. The settlement provides no compensation directly to users who receive the notice. Facebook users can opt out of the settlement, and should do so if they wish to pursue further legal action against Facebook related to the Beacon program. 'If you choose to do nothing and remain in the settlement class, you will be legally bound by the settlement,' a <a href="http://www.beaconclasssettlement.com/FAQs.htm">FAQ on the settlement Web site</a> says. "By doing nothing, you will be giving up the right to sue Facebook and the other Defendants over claims related to or arising out of the Beacon program.'"</i> Other defendents included Blockbuster, Fandango, Overstock.com, Zappos.com, and Gamefly.

	<htmltext>Yes! And when I got it there wasn't much info about it online - I'm still not 100\% convinced that it is real, even seeing it on Slashdot.

Read the fine print - the law firm is entitled to a third of that $9.5 million that will be donated to some random non-profit (anyone have information on them??). So for those keeping score at home, law firm - $3,166,666.00, facebook users whose privacy was supposedly invaded - $0,000,000.00. Makes my skin crawl.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>That's the entire theory of class-action lawsuits.

Other plaintiffs therefore retain the right to sue separately, but unless they actually do so, they are not represented in the lawsuit.

	<htmltext>Because of the separation between online and reality. For example, your Facebook is more in the reality section, you generally only accept people you know, can keep a tight control on your profile, etc. On the other hand, you have your online profiles, things such as perhaps your<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/. account, various online games, forums, etc. And most of the time without technical interference they stay separate.

Yeah, they do have fault in that they didn't design Beacon better so that 3rd parties wouldn't be able to trick users, but I just feel like people want a reason to sue, sue, sue.<br>
I mean, it has been around for two years, and if a 3rd party site uses it, I believe that you'll notice, because it will show up in Facebook.<br>
