By Andrew Trotman, and Katherine

US lawsuit claims that Facebook "misleads users into believing they have a secure, private mechanism for communication"

Facebook is being sued over claims it sells users’ private messages to advertisers without their consent.

According to a complaint filed in California, the social network “misleads users into believing they have a secure, private mechanism for communication, when in fact Facebook... mines user data and profits from those data by sharing them with third parties”.
