Remember my Blockbuster/Facebook Beacon post? Well, looks like Blockbuster may have violated a law, with a penalty of up to $2,500 per violation (thnx to Steve for the heads-up).

This begs the question: What other lawsuits are going to start flying regarding the egregious privacy breaches from other Beacon partners?

I hope somebody starts a class-action lawsuit against Blockbuster. I'm still really peeved about what they did. Did anybody stop to think what they were doing before they did it? Facebook has always had a history of doing what they want (users be damned), and then backtracking once everybody gripes out loud. One of these days, an apology is just not going to cut it.
