Facebook is suing me or something

Seta 3000Seta 3000 Registered User regular
edited December 2009 in Social Entropy++
Facebook is sending you this notice of a proposed class action settlement that may affect your legal rights as a Facebook member who may have used the Beacon program. This summary notice is being sent to you by Court Order so that you may understand your rights and remedies before the Court considers final approval of the proposed settlement on February 26, 2010.

This is not an advertisement or attorney solicitation.

This is not a settlement in which class members file claims to receive compensation. Under the proposed settlement, Facebook will terminate the Beacon program. In addition, Facebook will provide $9.5 million to establish an independent non-profit foundation that will identify and fund projects and initiatives that promote the cause of online privacy, safety, and security.

For full details on the settlement and further instructions on what to do to opt out of, object to, or otherwise comment upon the proposed settlement, please go to http://www.BeaconClassSettlement.com.

Please do not reply to this email.

Help me, SE, I think Facebook is robbing me of my identity and paying me for it

    hey I got this too

    it's because some folks were concerned about the privacy stuff of the Beacon thing (it was on my old Helio Ocean, among other devices) and sued and had it removed

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Beacon

    The strange thing is that Gmail threw it into my Spam folder, but it is legit.

    I signed the class action lawsuit about fixing CD prices and was blown away when I actually got a check for $16 like 2 years later.

    I just got an email with the subject:

    I still owe you money Brian...crapppp

    I havent' had a serious job since I had been laidoff in September and that quick $50 you passed me made my home I thank you. To return the kindness I got product for you where you profit outrageous cash working a few minutes a week. In my 1st week I made $3100, you must be a hard worker. Please don't share this gift with anyone since Im afraid if a bunch people do it we might make less money. Contact me and update me how you do. I love you. i almost forgot here is the website

    you ought to see his dad." "I'd like to meet him," said Carley,
    thoughtfully. "Elsie, was he in the service?" "Yes. He was on one of the
    navy transports that took munitions to France. Think of me, carrying
    this baby, with my husband on a boat full of explosives and with German
    submarines roaming the ocean! Oh, it was horrible!" "But he came back,
    and now all's well with you," said Carley, with a smile of earnestness.
    "I'm very glad, Elsie." "Yes--but I shudder when I think of a possible
    war in the future. I'm going to raise boys, and girls, too, I hope--and
    the thought of war is torturing." Carley found her return train somewhat
    late, and she took advantage of the delay to walk out to the wooded
    headlands above the Sound. It was a raw March day, with a steely sun
    going down in a pale-gray sky. Patches of snow lingered in sheltered

    your e-mail program or server system probably just cut out all the image files with the cialis ads

    what you're looking at is the stuff they generate to fool your spam filter
