investigate the liability and legality of Facebook's unprecedented experiment on users.

Created by R.A. on June 30, 2014

In light of Facebook's recent experiment that was revealed to the public and their statement that it was perfectly legal it brings into question the legality and infringement upon the rights of the people to be coerced into emotional responses and the harm to people that it may have caused.

Such harm would be similar to a person yelling fire in a crowded area to invoke a reaction of fear and panic which is not protected by the law and seen as a clear criminal act.

Facebook manipulated users news feeds using keywords in order to create situations which evoked emotional responses which is little more than planting a seed that could result in harm coming to others.

The administration should investigate and condemn this act by Facebook.
