I find in a surprising number of instances today's hacker news is tomorrows mainstream news. If the tech blogs are buzzing with this story today you will often find this as a side story on mainstream news sites (the bbc etc) tomorrow.
This will get facebooks attention.
- ErrantX 16y agoI doubt they will do it full justice - there is over a years legal dispute in the background of this. What the EFF are worried about (I've read their submission but the original FB brief is downloading reaaaaly slowly) is that where Facebook are claiming Power have committed a criminal offence in ignoring a cease and desist and accessing peoples accounts (apparently contrary to the ToS) the extension that could come from a favourable ruling is that individuals may be breaking criminal laws too (Cal sec 502(c) in particular). Clearly that is silly and the EFF are asking the courts to see that.
