However, Six4Threes recent court filings show that its lawyers are also involved in a second lawsuit brought by a different companyone that promoted breast cancer awareness, among other appsthat levies very similar allegations against Facebook.
The case alleges breach of contract, concealment, and intentional misrepresentation, among other claims brought under California state law.
Facebook attempted to shut it down at the time, alleging a trademark violation, which appears to not have been successful.It is not clear why Six4Three would want to keep its affiliation to this site a secret if it and its lawyers want to draw fellow disgruntled app developers.
The new plaintiff, Styleform IT, is a seemingly defunct one-person Swedish company, which, according to the lawsuit, made just a few Facebook apps, beginning over a decade ago.
There is a somewhat well-known Swedish information security researcher named Frans Rosn, who says he lives in Stockholm, but it is not clear if this is the same person.
The Styleform lawsuit goes through an expansive narrative that largely mirrors the one brought in the Six4Three complaint, in many instances using very similar if not identical language.
They show that Facebook gave extended access to a number of large companies and even pondered charging access to its vast trove of data.
Through these three apps, Styleform claims it spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop and maintain these apps and lost out on a contract worth millions as a result of Facebooks actions.
