Three AOL subscribers have mounted legal action against the ISP in retaliation for its disclosure of their search data. AOL accidentally posted a three-month set of search queries conducted by over 650,000 of its users in August.
Standing on established privacy laws, three AOL subscribers are striking back at their Internet service provider after they discovered records of their online searches had been distributed across the Internet.
Two unnamed Californians and Kasadore Ramkisson of Richmond County, N.Y., filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified financial damages on Friday in the U.S. District Court in Oakland, Calif.
The trio, who are seeking class action status, are also seeking to stop AOL from retaining search-related data.
