Canadian class-action suit against Facebook alleges misuse of personal information
Two Facebook users are seeking damages on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Canadians whose personal data may have been improperly used for political purposes.
The proposed class-action lawsuit filed by Calgary residents Saul Benary and Karma Holoboff asks the Federal Court to order the social-media giant to bolster its security practices to better protect sensitive information and comply with federal privacy law.
It also seeks $1,000 for each of the approximately 622,000 Canadians whose information was shared with others through a digital app.
