    Facebook has filed a lawsuit today against two Android app developers for infecting their users with malware that faked clicks on ads. Both the Hong Kong-based JediMobi and the Singapore-based LionMobi were a part of the social media giant's Audience Network. The program lets Facebook's advertisers host their ads on participating mobile apps, whose developers receive a payout if a user clicks through. In the case of JediMobi and LionMobi, Facebook alleges that many of ad clicks generated through their apps weren't from an actual human.
