A Facebook user has sued the social network and is hoping for a class action case, alleging that her privacy was violated when data company Cambridge Analytica improperly harvested personal information from millions of users.

Lauren Price of Maryland sued Facebook along with Cambridge Analytica in federal court in San Jose on Tuesday and seeks damages for all US Facebook users whose information was harvested without their authorization.

Price said that she was “frequently targeted” with political ads during the 2016 election, according to the complaint.

“This case involves the absolute disregard with which defendants have chosen to treat plaintiff’s personal information,” lawyers for Price said in her complaint.

“Facebook, for its part, knew this improper data aggregation was occurring and failed to stop it, or actively avoided discovering such knowledge in order to profess supposed ignorance.”

A judge will decide whether the lawsuit will be certified as a class action.

The suit comes as it was revealed that Cambridge Analytica, a data research firm that was affiliated with election campaign of President Trump, harvested personal information about 50 million Facebook users.
