While I’ve been posting blog posts quietly puzzling over the role of Facebook and how it seems unnecessarily intrusive, a Dallas woman, more proactive and litigious than I, has sued Blockbuster Video.

The woman rented videos from Blockbuster. Blockbuster told Facebook which videos they were. Facebook’s controversial Beacon program published the information for the world to see, the suit alleges.

Here’s the story. It’s always interesting, if not enlightening, when technology issues go to court.

Does somebody want to search for Cathryn Harris on Facebook and see what the videos were?
