Given the size of the putative class, joinder of all members of the Plaintiff Class is not practicable. (b) Common Questions Predominate: Common questions of law and fact exist sto all members of the Plaintiff Class and predominate over any questions which affect only individual members of the clas. These common questions oF law and fact include, without imitation: (i) whether defendants violated Civil Code section 3344; (i) whether defendants violated the Unfair Competition Law; (ii) whether defendants violated the California Constitution; (iv) the amount of gross reveaue and profit obtained by defendants attributable to their violations of Civil Code section 3344; and (vi) the appropriate nature of elass-wide injunetive and equitable relic£ (©) Tapicelity: Plaintiffs’ claims are typical of claims of the members of the Plaintiff Class.

Plaintifis are adequate representatives of the Plaintiff Class as they have no interest which are adverse to the interests of absent class members. Plaintisis have retained counsel who have substantial experience and success in the prosecution of complex cases involving privacy csues, modem technology issues, and financial gain from novel or unorthodox activities. (©) Superiority: A class action is superior to other available means for the fair and efficient adjudication of this controversy because the individual joinder of al members of the elass is impracticable. Class action treatment will permit a large number of similarly situated persons to prosecute their common claims in a single forum simultaneously, efficiently, and without the unnecessary duplication of effort and expense that numerous individual actions would engender. Furthermore, as the damages suffered by each individual member of the class may be relatively small, the expenses and burden of individual litigation would make it difficult or impossible for individual members of. the class tb redress the wrongs done to them, while an imperiaat public intorest will be served by addressing the mstter as a class action. ‘The enst to the court system of adjudication of such individualized litigation would be substantial. Individualized Titigation would also present the potential for inconsistent or contradictory judgments, 10. Plaintifis are unaware of any difficulties that are likely to be encountered in the managoment of this action that would preclude Its maintenance as a class action. FACEBOOK SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE Li, The Facebook social networking site was started in or about February, 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Cris Hughes, who were students st Harvard University, based on a concept in place at Philips Exeter Academy Page 6, GLASS ACTION COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATION OF: ive Cope 3344; CAL, CONST. ART I, §15 AND UNFAIR COMPETITIONLAW which had long published a manual of students and faculty. The Facebook program has since become successful worldwide, with other persons or entities having investment of ownership interests therein. 12, The model of the Facebook social network was to create an apparently authentic experience for individuals to conneet and share with ftiends, new and ol, over the internet. 13. The internet home page for the Facebook social network is http://www facebook,conv. 14, There are currently believed to be more than 500 million nsembers on the Facebook social network who have been active on the network within the last thirty days. “The number of children inder the age of 18, residing in California, who are members of the Facebook social network is eumently unknown but hased on the demographics is belicved to be very large. Because Facebook is a privately held company, figures regarding the sourees ofits revenue are not publically available, but because Jouneer persons are generally seen to be carly adapters 10 new technologies for communication, the number of children under the age of 18 years who are active on.

THE FACEBOOK SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE AS A REVENUE GENERATING SYSTEM 17, The Facebook social networking site is a system designed to generate & stream of income through the utilization of information captured from the social networking activities ofits members. This social networking activity gonerates detailed information about the interests and preferences of the members. This is extremely valuable information for marketing purposes. 18, Facebook has been able to sell advertising directed to very specifie markets that are indicated by the information diselosed in the social networking activites of Pacebook members, This is a marketing technique that is becoming more common on the internet due to the development of more sophisticated technologies. 19, Imaddition to the foregoing technique of marketing based om information generated through the social networking activities of fts members, Facebook also generates advertising revenue by utilizing the names and/or likenesses of Facebook membersin advertisements it sells to merchants of goods and services. The apparent endorsement of a good or service in an advertisement by one member who is recognizable to other persons will gonsrate higher “cliek-throughs” and greater revenues toa paying advertiser, and thereby to Facebook. 20, Facebook also creates special “landing” web pages designed tote a dcatnation for people conducting Google or othe internet search engine searches of names of persons who are Facebook members, 30 that the search result will ne lead to the Page & CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATION OF CrviL Cone 3344; CAL.

The purpose ofthe "landing page” is not to reveal the content of2 membet’s page, but solely to give the searcher the opportunity and incentive to becomea member ofthe Facebook social networking site. The landing page permits the searcher to do only one thing to become a member of Facebook — and, with such inembership, presumably continue the search Within the Facebook network, The landing page solitation to join the Facebook network is made more effective by ieluding the name and likeness of the person being sought inthe search, as well the names fd likenessesof many of that person’s friends. 21, Inthe course of using the names and likenesses of Facebook members in advertising and on special landing pages, Facebook regularly and frequently includes the names ant likenesses of minors without obtaining consent for that use. Children are a largo marketing audience, so that endorsements that include the names and likenesses of other chiliren ip advertisements and solicitations generate a great increase inthe revenue and profis to Facebook, This increased revenue and profit ogous in the case ofthe special Janding pages by increasing the size of the Facebook social network and in the case of the endorsement advertisements, by increasing the chance thatthe advertisement will achive its purpose, thereby ensbling Facebook to demand a higher price forthe advertisement. 22, The marketing and advertising made available to merchants on te Facebook social network site is enhanced by inclusion within the advertisements of the names and frequenty the likenesscs of Facebook members when their social interaction has indicated that they ike a particular web site, person, product or service, Facebook encourages its members communicate such ‘ikeo,” characterizing these indications of lias comothing that contributes tothe social nature of commaaication within the Facebook network, Facebook then uses this information for targeted marketing of eadersement ads CIVIL Cope 3344; CaL.

Defendant Facebook, Inc. is not 2 publically held or traded company so its income figures are not generally availshle to the public. 24. Defendant Facebook, Inc., appears to be continually seskdng new ways t ‘use the names and likenesses: of its members, including children, for its own marketing purposes, Facebook is currently using the names and likenesses ofits members on advertising segments that request other members to supply Facebook with the e-mail lists of the menber, The aequisition ofthe e-mail list of a member, by an advertisement using the names and likenesses of ‘other members who have supplied their own e-muail lists, is. for the purpose of generating more members for Facebook, which increases hesi7e of its advertising market, and generates significantly more revenue for Facebook. This is a further commercial use of the names and often likenesses of ‘children without legal consent, 25. The business model of Facebook indicates that using the names and likenesses of its members, including children, for marketing and revenue generating purposes is inherent to its operating system, and will continue and likely incase in the future. a ve Page 10 GLASS ACTION COMPLAINI FOR VIOLATION OF: Civ, Cove 3344; CaL- CONST.
