accusation

As it became known, Facebook is now suing a professional community for teachers that operates a social networking site for teachers, Teachbook. The website for teachers is accused of unfair usage of the word “book” in its name that creates a strong competition for Facebook.  Sounds weird, doesn’t it?

The beginning of the suit reads:

Three Bulgarians were arrested on Wednesday, being accused of defrauding banks of more than $137,000 in 44-day hacking boom. Criminals used a scheme that attached electronic skimming devices to variety of ATMs throughout eastern Massachusetts. 

As a result of false accusations filed by some person eBay and PayPal exposed the information about several of the payment system users. The French authorities were approached by the individual who accused one of the PayPal users of a crime. This accusation resulted into PayPal disclosing several individual accounts and other private information (IP address, physical address, email accounts, phone numbers, transactions).

.com.au domain Australian registry company Sapia Pty has been accused of abandoning its own procedures to censor a website satirising communications minister Stephen Conroy's ISP filtering regime.

Google has been blamed for diverging UK tax on the £1.6bn it makes in Britain.

Google pays some tax, that is about £140,000 on interest on cash in the bank held here. But its offshore status means it, quite legally, avoids paying £450m in corporation tax.

 The Federal Trade Commission has filed an appeal in federal court concerning the credit card operations deceptive marketing. The complaint alleged that a catalog credit card operation deceptively marketed its card, failed to honor its refund policy, and charged up-front fees for a guaranteed line of credit. The accused, who charged consumers hundreds of dollars in fees for the card, voluntarily agreed to an order that prohibits the practices asserted in the complaint pending trial.
