Facebook的一些用戶稱，這家社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)公司“非法”收集和存儲(chǔ)取自他們照片臉部的生物特征數(shù)據(jù)，因此對(duì)Facebook提起了訴訟。在第一輪的法庭交手中，F(xiàn)acebook敗下陣來(lái)。

上周四，加利福尼亞州聯(lián)邦法院的法官駁回了Facebook要求撤銷訴訟的動(dòng)議。

Facebook提交的動(dòng)議認(rèn)為，用戶不能依據(jù)《伊利諾伊州生物特征信息隱私法》（Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, BIPA）提交訴訟，因?yàn)樗麄円呀?jīng)在用戶協(xié)議中同意讓加利福尼亞州的法律解決用戶與公司的爭(zhēng)端，BIPA不適用于本案涉及的“標(biāo)簽建議”功能。

而法院認(rèn)為，伊力諾依州的法律適用于本案，原告可以依據(jù)BIPA提交訴訟。

原告聲稱，F(xiàn)acebook在照片上貼“標(biāo)簽”的面部識(shí)別功能非法收集和存儲(chǔ)了用戶的生物特征信息數(shù)據(jù)，這違反了伊力諾依州BIPA的規(guī)定。

法庭判令顯示，這份訴訟由伊力諾依州居民按照該州法律提起，但是當(dāng)事人同意將其移交加利福尼亞法庭辦理。

Facebook上個(gè)月發(fā)行新股票的計(jì)劃也遭遇了訴訟。

該公司表示將在4月發(fā)行一種新的無(wú)表決權(quán)股份，以此讓首席執(zhí)行官馬克?扎克伯格在放棄財(cái)富的同時(shí)，不放棄這家他創(chuàng)立的社交媒體巨頭的控制權(quán)。

Facebook尚未立刻就此事做出回應(yīng)。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Facebook lost the first round in a court fight against some of its users who sued the social networking company, alleging it “unlawfully” collected and stored users’ biometric data derived from their faces in photographs.

The judge presiding over the case in a California federal court on Thursday turned down Facebook’s motion seeking dismissal of the suit.

Facebook FB 1.43% filed the motion arguing that the users could not file a complaint under Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) as they had agreed in their user agreement that California law would govern their disputes with the company, and that BIPA does not apply to “tag suggestions.”

The court found that Illinois law applies and that the plaintiffs have stated a claim under BIPA.

The complainants had alleged that Facebook’s face recognition feature that suggests “tags” on photos unlawfully collected and stored biometric data, in violation of the Illinois BIPA.

The case was filed by some Illinois residents under Illinois law, but the parties agreed to transfer the case to the California court, the court order showed.

Facebook was also hit with a lawsuit over its plan to issue new stock last month.

The company said in April it will create a new class of non-voting shares in a move aimed at letting Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg give away his wealth without relinquishing control of the social media juggernaut he founded.

Facebook was not immediately available for comment.
