An NGO best known for filing lawsuits has filed a complaint with the FTC against Facebook claiming that “Facebook is engaging in anticompetitive and unfair business practices in the market for virtual goods purchased in social games through its Facebook Credits terms with game developers.”

The watchdog organization’s blog post about the complaint includes such colorful statements as claiming that Facebook may be “on the road to dominance of all online commercial transactions” and “imagine Mark Zuckerberg’s face replacing George Washington’s on the dollar bill. Or rubbing out all the dead presidents on every bit of American currency.”

Attached below is the Consumer Watchdog complaint.
