Facebook’s leading game developer Zynga has be sue for sharing personal information of Facebook users.

The class-action lawsuit was filed in a Federal Court on San Francisco by Nancy Graf of St. Paul, Minnesota. The suit seeks monetary relief for those Facebook users whose data was shared. It also seeks injunctive relief for prevention of “continued privacy abuses.”

Zynga has been accused of violating Facebook policy as well as numerous Federal and state laws.

The lawsuit is said to be linked to the report first published in the Wall Street Journal, where the popular game developer along with other app developers was accused of sharing Facebook users IDs with ad companies. This privacy breach has seen LOLApps games being shut down by Facebook for a couple of days.

Zynga plans to contest the suit stating, “We believe that the complaint is without merit and we intend to defend against it vigorously.”

The recent privacy breach reported by WSJ also got attention of Congress that eventually lead them to ask Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about what the company knew about the privacy breach and steps the company is taking to remedy the situation.

The scale of the privacy breach is being debated, with many believing the problem has been over hyped.

Could it be surprising or merely a new trend when addressing the amount of lawsuits that Facebook has been up against for patents? On top of dealing with other current lawsuits, Facebook can now add another one to their counter clock!

Mekiki is pushing for royalty rights and a court order to furthermore prevent Facebook’s use of their creation. The Tokyo based company filed their suit in a federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware. Facebook has not yet commented on this accusation.
