After recently winning a landmark $711 million in a recent spam lawsuit, Facebook has now thrown the might of their lawyers at someone else who they claim is illegally making use of their site.
They have just sent a cease and desist notice to uSocial.net, a company who sells fans and until recently friends on the social media site.
“We have been dealing with Facebook regarding this matter and we have removed our friend-buying service, though we're not budging on selling fans.” Said uSocial CEO Leon Hill. “We are well within our legal right to do so and despite the C&D, we're not taking the service down.”
In the letter, Facebook claim uSocial is breaking several laws, including illegally accessing the site.
This is the second such notice the site has received from a social media site, after receiving one from Digg in 2008.
“We're actually not too worried by this and we'll be ramping up our Facebook services in the coming weeks,” said Hill. “We'll shortly be launching a similar service with Facebook groups , though we will have to wait and see what the response is from that.”
Information on the service can be found at http://usocial.net/facebook_marketing.
