A dad is suing Facebook for not getting permission from parents or guardians before letting members of the online social network know when children “Like” brands. “We believe this suit is completely without merit and we will fight it vigorously,” Facebook said in an email response to an AFP inquiry.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Lawyers representing Scott Nastro and his son in a US district court in New York want the case to include all Facebook members in the state younger than 18 years old whose names or likenesses have been used in “Social Ads.” The civil suit filed on Tuesday accused California-based Facebook of misappropriating names or likenesses of Nastro’s child and other minors to promote products or services as well as to expand its ranks of members. <\/p>\n

“Facebook Inc. appears to be continually seeking new ways to use the names and likenesses of its members, including children, for its own marketing purposes,” attorney Lee Squitieri said in court documents. In late 2007, Facebook launched Social Ads that pair related online advertising with members’ actions such as writing reviews for restaurants or indicating that they “Like” a brand. The lawsuit argued that such links involving underage Facebook members constitute unauthorized endorsements.<\/strong><\/p>\n
