A Montreal company has U.S. $ 873 million to FaceBook

Facebook has gained in court a further U.S. $ 873 million (C $ 1.1 billion) against a Montrealer who used social media to send four million spam messages promoting soft drugs and pills to extend the male. By a clever subterfuge, Adam and his company Guerbuez Atlantis Blue Capital obtained passwords of users to flood their Facebook "friends" of spam. The carousel began last spring. According to Facebook, it is the largest trial in a case involving the Can-Spam Act (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing). This law prohibits sending inappropriate e-mails and covers recent messages sent from the media industry. Facebook does not expect to see the color of that money. "It is unlikely that Geurbez Atlantis and Blue Capital to honor the ruling," wrote the director of security, Max Kelly, on a blog. "We are confident that this represents a powerful deterrent to anyone who would abuse Facebook and its users." Finally, the ruling of the Federal Court of California prohibits Mr. Guerbuez to browse Facebook or come into contact with its members.
