Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) said Thursday that the company and its Irish unit have filed a lawsuit in Portugal against two people who they accuse of scraping user-profiles from its website.
What Happened: The Mark Zuckerberg-led company accused the unnamed defendants of violating its terms of service and Portugal’s Database Protection Law in a statement.
The individuals operated under the business name “Oink and Stuff” and allegedly misled users into installing extensions with a privacy policy that claimed they did not collect any personal information.
The four malicious extensions were made available on
Alphabet Inc’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) Chrome store, as per Facebook.
