A BC woman is launching a class action lawsuit against Facebook. The Canadian entrepreneur, who owns Video4Web Productions, has filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on behalf of all BC residents who are Facebook users and whose name or photograph has been used by the social networking giant in its recently added "sponsored story" feature without consent.

Sponsored stories, which are triggered when a user clicks Facebook's famous "like" button on brand pages, should be illegal, Deborah Douez says. The way they function now—using a Facebook member's name or photo to endorse third-party products to that member's friends without consent—should not be allowed, her suit argues.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has come forth to say that Facebook shows "improvement in some areas" but that the social networking giant "should be more proactive on privacy when introducing new features."

Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart announced the findings of three complaint investigations involving Facebook and revealed that Facebook "has shown greater awareness of users' privacy rights." However, she affirms that the company "still needs to do a better job of considering privacy issues before rolling out new features."

This morning Tiger Woods and his foundation launched a fundraising campaign on Facebook to raise money for 10 underserved students to attend college and he chose Vancouver's FundRazr to power it.

The fundraising campaign will be conducted on Tiger’s personal Facebook page via the streamlined FundRazr application. Participants from around the world can contribute as little as $1 to the scholarship program. Every dollar raised will be personally matched by Woods with all proceeds going directly to the Earl Woods Scholars. The six-week campaign, beginning today, will conclude on May 14.

A week ago, Elise Moreau wrote about employers asking for job seekers' Facebook passwords during interviews as part of their screening process. No one was happy to hear about employers attempting to access potential employees' social media networks - especially not Facebook.

Now Paul Cavaluzzo, a Toronto-based labour lawyer, has come forth to put job seekers' concerns at ease. He, alongside other lawyers, says that laws in Canada offer strong protection against employers asking for this personal information.
