Facebook Sued in California Over Teen Endorsements

Normally I would laugh something like this off but, because these are minors (and involves the state of California), this will probably end up being settled by Facebook.

Two Los Angeles County teenagers are suing Facebook, claiming the social network effectively sold their names and images to advertisers without parental permission. The lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles challenges a Facebook feature that allows members to note that they like an advertised service or product. Facebook broadcasts those endorsements to the user's friends.
