scanning the content of messages they send to other users for advertising purposes, a U.S. judge has ruled.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton in Oakland, California, on Tuesday dismissed some state-law claims against the social media company but largely denied Facebook\u2019s bid to dismiss the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook had argued that the alleged scanning of its users\u2019 messages was covered by an exception under the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act for interceptions by service providers occurring in the ordinary course of business.<\/p>\n<p>But Hamilton said Facebook had \u201cnot offered a sufficient explanation of how the challenged practice falls within the ordinary course of its business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither Facebook nor a lawyer for the plaintiffs responded to a request for comment Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit, filed in 2013, alleged that Facebook scanned the content of private messages sent between users for links to websites and would then count any links in a tally of \u201clikes\u201d of the pages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/rs\/2014\/12\/judge-rules-facebook-must-face-lawsuits-over-violating-users-privacy\/\">Read
