Users had sued the network because they didn't want their
faces used in ads...
Reuters reports that Facebook Inc has agreed to pay $10
million to charity to settle a lawsuit that accused the site of violating
users' rights to control the use of their own names, photographs and
likenesses, according to court documents made public over the weekend.
The lawsuit, brought by five Facebook members, alleged the
social networking site violated California law by publicizing users'
"likes" of certain advertisers on its "Sponsored Stories"
feature without paying them or giving them a way to opt out, the documents
said.
