A Canadian resident has been asked to pay $873 million in damages to Facebook for sending millions of spam messages to the social networking site.
On Friday, a San Jose, Calif., federal judge announced the judgement, which is believed to be the largest to date under the Controlling the Assault of Non- Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act, or the CAN-SPAM.
The judgement was delivered against Adam Guerbuez, a resident of Montreal and Atlantis Blue Capital, which Facebook alleges is a fake business name used by Guerbuez.
Sam O'Rourke, senior corporate counsel for the Palo Alto, Calif- based Facebook, stated that they did not expect to recover the entire amount but were planning to collect as much as they could.
