One of the lawsuits filed by Facebook user Lauren Price had claimed that Facebook had no regard for the user personal data and therefore, he had filed a class action suit in behalf of all 50 million users. In his argument, the Maryland residents claim that Facebook, in its privacy policy suggests not to reveal any personal data of the users without permission or prior notice. The complainant also claimed that he had seen many political ads during 2016 presidential election in the US.

There are two more lawsuits were filed by Facebook’s own shareholders, Fan Yuan and Robert Casey. Both of these shareholders filed a class action case against Facebook, it’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and CFO David Wehner.

Attorney Jeremiah Hallisey is the fourth person to file a complaint against Facebook in San Jose. Mr. Hallisey, while 

filing a suit claimed that Facebook, it’s CEO, COO Sheryl Sandberg, and board members failed to protect the data theft, which is a violation of their fiduciary duty.

The plaintiffs seek to recover the losses they incurred due to Facebook tumbling down in the stock exchanges causing losses to the shareholders after the data breach revelation.
