Topic: US lawyers float Facebook Credits antitrust suit - page 2. (Read 3815 times)
What I see positive about this, is that since FB has its own "currency" and the State(s) don't have any issues with that, then it would be tough to "forbid" the use of Bitcoin in the future. Or at least without doing the same to other virtual currencies....
I'm quite capable of doing so.
The other folks aren't that advanced :-)
Perhaps there should be a law that all literature must be written using only 2nd grade English, so that it's accessible to everyone.
Or just drown all stupid people. Imagine a world where the lowest common denominator is constantly rising!

This is nothing more than a creative approach from a firm of blood-sucking leeches trying to create an issue so they can screw a settlement out of FB (which I detest by the way.) The endgame for this frivolous lawsuit will be a nice fat settlement for the firm based on pumped up fees, a few coins for the token class representative for the syuit, who we will eventually learn is related to the law firm suing, and nothing but a lot more hot air.
Antitrust law is so absurd. Nobody is forced to use Windows, not the users nor the developers. Anyone who complains about Windows on the basis of "monopoly" is a sniveling whiny bitch imo 
Microsoft should do whatever the heck they want with their own software. And the same freedom that protects their right to do so is the same freedom which protects our right to do whatever we want with Bitcoin.

)Anyhoo, good luck Facebook. (rather, I hope they win in court... not fond of Facebook.)

Interesting: thanks for bringing this up.
Any Facebook game developers on here looking to force Facebook to allow Bitcoin?

US attorneys are trying to drum up interest in a potential case against Facebook, claiming its Credits virtual currency is breaking US antitrust law.
The firm, Newman DuWors, has thrown up the site Stopfacebookcredits.com to attract game developers and providers of virtual currencies who believe their businesses have been or are being damaged by Facebook Credits.
Newman DuWors hopes to bring either a single or a class-action against Facebook under the US Sherman Act that saw Microsoft prosecuted during the 1990s. Derek Newman with the firm told The Reg on Monday that he hopes somebody who’s been put out of business by Facebook Credits will come forward who he can represent.
