E-Commerce Law Briefs: Week of October 1, 2007

Last week, we noted that the New York Attorney General subpoenaed Facebook after the company failed to respond to complaints by investigators who were solicited for sex while posing as teenagers on the social networking site. Now, "The social networking Web site Facebook has been warned that it could face a consumer fraud charge for failing to live up to claims that youngsters there are safer from sexual predators than at most sites and that it promptly responds to concerns . . . ."
