Are You Frightened By Facebook?
When a group of Facebook users sue Facebook for invasion of privacy, it really gives you hope that the legal profession will come out of this recession stronger than ever. The ability of Americans to turn fear and an incomplete understanding of what they signed up for into a full blown lawsuit is like renewable energy to American lawyers.
As Kash explains on True/Slant, it is really quite easy to get some people to join a legal crusade:
Are you vaguely uncomfortable with Facebook? Something doesn’t feel quite right with the way it handles privacy issues, right? You can’t quite put your finger on what bothers you exactly about handing all of your photos, personal information, videos, friends, and status updates to one corporate entity for indefinite storage, but yeah, there’s something messed up about it.If the above resonates with you, you should try to join one of the latest legal actions against the social networking company.
Of course, if you do sign up, Kash will think you’re kind of dumb. And you don’t want to disappoint Kash do you?

Welcome back Elie.
My moobs?
Kash wants to marry Hugh G. Dyck, Esq.
This wraps up a full day of absolutely useless ATL posts.
Great to have MysTTTal back.
MysTTTal has moobs. Can you milk him, Focker?
PE just opened a Friendster account.
Kash is kute.
Elie, great job with grooming us to be partners who point out small grammar mistakes to associates!
High fiving fellow Devry graduates glad they didn't go to law school.
11, if by "grammar mistake" you mean a misspelling/typo and by "small" you mean a mistake that makes a sentence a non sequitur, you needn't worry about your partnership prospects.
So does "Superhero City" pay or does Facebook pay for that annoying ad? Either way ATL looks conflicted to me.
God, this site is shit.
Facebook? More like CHASEbook. HAHAHA
15: Welcome to 2009.
When Elie is not on one of his black supremacist racist rants, I actually like him.

You got to love Facebook. The model in the suit actually shares a common friend of mine. Small f*cking world.
My brother refuses to join facebook. You know, on account of all the unwashed masses that would try to "friend" him.
Who would intentionally disappoint Kash? She is the cuteness. And that, good sir, is a fact.
10 & 24--
Gotta say, I hear you. Since that post a couple of weeks ago showing her and the lobster, I've been obsessed with her breasts. Great shape and just the right size--not too large and not too small.
Keep up the cuteness Kash!
I love you Stan...your brother is a complete tool. Please poison him.
25- I would have agreed with you but the comment a few days back about Kash looking like a young Amy Fisher was too close for comfort.
I am Mrs. MysTTTal.
As a family law attorney, I love Facebook. My favorite part of Facebook is the plethora of stupid adversaries who post all sorts of details of their private lives while they are in the middle of a divorce, a child support case, or a modification, etc. Mwaaaa mwaaa ha ha (evil laugh). I don't need to hire a private investigator when the morons leave their profiles public and are dumb enough to tell me all sorts of sordid details that I can use in court. (My ADA friends love it too.) Mwaaaa mwaaaa ha ha.
