Facebook sued

Power.com has sued Facebook, saying the site doesn’t follow its own policy of giving users control over the content they share.

Power lets users simultaneously access several social networks, including MySpace and Twitter. But Facebook isn’t among them because the site has blocked Power from doing so and last year filed a lawsuit against Power over it.

Rio de Janeiro-based Power filed a countersuit on Friday in US District Court in San Jose, California.

Power claims that Facebook improperly restricts its users’ access to their private information such as photos, contacts and online profiles when it prevents them from accessing it through a third party like Power.

Facebook didn’t immediately respond to e-mails for comment on Friday.
