Facebook has a lot to answer for.

Lot's of sensationalism in the tale..'plied with alcohol.." ( I plied myself with booze at the age or willingly accepted it) and outrageous...made one dress up as a..wait for it..schoolgirl ..shocking.

'plied under-age girls with alcohol and made one dress up in a schoolgirl uniform for him.'

So he made a school girl dress up as a school girl....what an imagination

Not so sure about this,seems consent was given,just age and position were at fault here.Seems a long sentence at 15 years.

Heart-rending follow-up tale from the "victim"

(This "abuse" all happened in the largest council estate in the North, so think "Dewsbury")

Does it Veritas? Seems a bit unfair as it's not really Facebook's problem . It's the idiot's that use the site.

I believe Facebook are on very dodgy ground and I do have info that is not yet public.

I see a journalist has been arrested in Queensland for receiving a stolen facebook profile photo which the police describe as "like receiving a stolen TV set"

www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-new...-20110518-1esm7.html

This is extraordinary-there isn't one single newspaper I can think of that hasn't used facebook profile photos without permission.

Now the plods aren't very well up on cyber crime and they admit it but I reckon this is a test case which will have extraordinary implications for Facebook and may open them up to all sorts of legal claims. I think we are going to see all sorts of legal attacks on sites like facebook plus the police testing the waters.

Facebook like numerous other sites claim they have no responsibility for material posted as they own the servers.
I spoke to an internet law university professor last week who describes that as utter nonsense and it's a case waiting to be tested which he believes Facebook or any other website would lose badly as they are publishers despite what they claim.

And it only takes one case to open the floodgates.

# I also just had 4 phoney facebook [profiles removed that were claiming to be a business I am involved in. It has taken months of facebook ignoring me until a US expert told me the correct manner to do it. A US law firm said I now have a real chance of suing facebook for damages but I couldn't face the hassle !.

There is anarchy on the internet but too many people confuse that with the right to say and do almost anything they want !
