A Canadian man has filed a lawsuit over YouPorn’s “history sniffing” and “history hijacking” techniques.

According to a story reported on www.xbiz.com, the suit was filed against Netherlands-based Midstream Media N.V., which owns and operates YouPorn, YouPornGay and YouPornCocks, at Quebec Superior Court by Gareth Hedges on behalf of other Canadian residents who visited the YouPorn sites.

The Canadian filing claims that YouPorn intentionally and knowingly used “history sniffing” technology and exploited a Javascript security flaw to capture personal information from users without their knowledge or consent.

A suit seeking class action was filed last December in the U.S. by two Newport Beach, Calif., residents who made the same claims against the porn company.
