Getting into a legal wrangle with a company that has UNLIMITED RESOURCES is a complication you do not want in your life. Not to talk of the fact that the company has noted you, and has probably put out a global espionage operation on you and your family using your devices and stuff.

Kill the business and do something else with your life.

My thoughts exactly.

The Op should thread carefully as they could report him to INTERPOL and get his port blacklisted.

If they want to take it far, they could even put an extradition request with the Nigerian authorities to extradite him to the US for the court case. He should thread carefully.

Hmm just behave as if nothing is going on, but endevour to withdraw all your funds in case anything happens. If they lock u out just send them DDOS.

You watch a lot of Hollywood movies

Stop what you're doing as this seems like you're having access to s data which can land them in big trouble.

As for those of you that are saying big fish, big money etc. You have no idea what Interpol can do. They might not get you now, but whenever you approach the U.S, U.K or Canadian embassy, thats when you will know whatsup.

Secondly, this kind of email are issued to over 300,000 developers daily if not more than, how many Apps will they buy?? They don't need your App, they just don't want to get into trouble with the government.

Recently, Google CEO was at the U.S House of Rep to explain data and what they do with it. Google was heavily scrutinised and battered with several questions from lawmakers. It is a very sensitive issue. That is why you're being warned.

That is a very serious Threat..

which means you have obviously crossed their Ads and conditions Rules..
They must have red flagged your apps maybe due to your unlicenced activities which they are against..
according to the PDF you are monetizing in those platforms and gaining access to their s data without their permission..

Op just play along and free yourself from them then deactivate everything you have to do with Facebook Inc afterwards..

Learn to monetize using other platforms.

I am a developer, I have Instagram saver which uses sessions to get data and also Facebook story saver on play store. I monetize using Facebook Audience Network, that's where they got my information because I do receive payments with them, they have disabled my Facebook and Instagram plus my FAN s with some funds and are threatening to sue me if I don't stop my apps and also give them information about the apps I have created.

I need help on what to do and what kind of action can they take upon me.

If I ask; "but why are Nigerians like this?"
I probably will be a victim of online battery ...

The rate at which some Nigerians are willing to desperately exploit grey areas for money regardless of the consequences baffles me...

Bros carry your cross

You're a bigboy walahi. So it's facebook that is threatening you. Men! You're a big boy.

The sentence "Are you as bored as I am?" can be read backwards and still makes sense.

Beautiful.

Did you know that the same is true for nurses run?

Smartixy:


I just want to know what legal action can they take.

Nothing much to advise. Cease and desist. Get a lawyer and do not give them your tools. If they really want it, they should employ you to develop a detriment strategy.

FAKE! That isn't from Facebook

Ah guy, you done go look for mark Zuckerberg trouble

Simple matter.. First they are thieves by requesting your source code... Use a lawyer and write to them back that the app you produced is to test if actually their promise that s information are safe in their platform and as a result of this you have discovered their website is not safe for s.. That you are compelling them to pay you to release the secret you used in knowing that and developing the app... Failure for them to reach you within 14 days for a reasonable proposal acceptable by you you will obtain a court injunction banning facebook from from operation throughout the world as their service is not safe for s.
Don't chicken out. Is your time to make it... Even if you don't have money to go to USA sue them in federal high court Nigeria seeking injunction for them not to operate in Nigeria as their service is not safe... You need to have mind and little spiritual backing to do this.

*THIS STORY INSPIRED ME AND I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM IT:*. A King called for a village feast and commanded that each villager in his domain came with a gourd of palm-wine and pour it in a giant pot at the entrance of the village which everyone would eventually drink from. When it was time to drink from the pot, everyone was surprised that it was water that was in the pot. Why should they be surprised? Apparently, everyone came with a gourd of water instead of palm-wine thinking that since it was one jug of water, it wouldn't be noticed. The King pointed this fact out and the whole village was ashamed. Society is the sum of US together not just leadership.

*_Lessons:_*

1. We are all drinking from what we contributed as a society.

2. Never think your actions are insignificant. Take personal responsibility... Maybe, just maybe, you'd inspire some others to take their own responsibilities seriously and would have more 'palm-wine' than 'water' in our society.

3. Stop complaining about the problems and what others are doing and be part of the solution in your country, family, church/mosque, street etc...

Be a good citizen, family member, church/mosque worker, community/CDA or friendly neighbour etc today!

nice one, though it doesn't correlate with the topic

Blur the email address and phone numbers of the lawyer that ed you. Too many idiots on nairaland that could use it to implicate you.

They never said that they are suing you. This is a cease and desist notification. All you need is to reply them, promising that you will never cross those lines.

Too funny.... They are after your codes.. cos it seems you are able to do something they can't.. tell you what just remove the monetisation part.. but don't part with those codes without any compensation.

guy send them an official mail and tell them that the LAST TIME YOU CHECKED, IT IS NOT YOUR DUTY TO SECURE THE DATA OF FACEBOOK S. REMIND THEM THAT YOU ARE A HUSTLING PROGRAMMER THEY SHOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AND NOT DISCOURAGE YOU.

Tell them that if they want your code, they should be ready to pay for it. Tell them you don't charge much - just 2 million dollars.

me when you start cashing out.

Relax, how much lawsuit do you think someone worth over $50billion Would sue you for..

It's just a threat

if he is based in the U.S e Don red. If you are saying it's just a threat, you shows your ignorance. They actually take these things very serious.

I was served court papers last year all the way from Switzerland within 3 days. It got to my house.

You are not being sued. Its only a warning. A cease and desist. Comply and no one would sue you.

Cambridge Analytica, comes to mind........ Do you know what happened to CA........

Do not reply with any statement that you have complied with their demands. Do not provide them any information.

Replying with a statement that you have complied with their demands or providing them any information is like making multiple confessions, which they could use against you.

Whether to continue or to stop the apps is for you to decide. You may seek the services of an information technology lawyer.

Don't listen to those fools telling you they can't do more than a dead rat.

Extra legal options exist and if they go down that line they can frustrate you and your business interests.

They won't mind spending a lot of money to make an example out of you.

Cyber crimes are globally punishable, you don't know the angle this whole thing will take eventually.

Avoid trouble while you can unless trouble is your hobby.

They’re not suing you yet. They’re just asking you to stop what you’re doing on their platform.

Look for a lawyer to reply them on your behalf. Do not give them information on how you created your own app . E get why.

Meanwhile, for information on trademark registration you can me.
