SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook Inc. was hit with a lawsuit on Monday accusing the company of violating restrictions on telemarketing by sending “unwanted and annoying” text messages.
Florida resident Deborah Roche accuses Facebook of sending her repetitive texts over the past two years using an automatic telephone dialing system in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The suit filed in the Northern District of California by Lemberg Law’s Trinette Kent claims that Roche was “bombarded” with texts inviting her to visit facebook.com and sign up for its service. Roche is asking for trebled statutory damages of up to $1,500 per text.
