The only reason they would ever get away with such a thing is because everyone hates facebook.
The only reason? Can't it be because FB's behavior was criminal, and/or that FB's behavior has already created an international incident?
Six4three can and should be held liable in a US court for this
Under what principle?
- DannyBee 8y agoFB's behavior is 100% irrelevant here. If they seized them from FB you may have an argument. But they didn't. As for holding them liable, this is a very clear violation of a protective order either way. The correct answer, as I said, is to take it to court, where Facebook, you know, the rightful owner of the documents, can intervene. If he actually was in possession of the documents, I would definitely push hard for sanctions.
- rhizome 8y agoI would think that it's germane and worth mentioning if the material on the laptop contained evidence of crimes committed, and also that the guy was subject to UK jurisdiction. I mean, I see women showing their hair and ankles in public all the time, does that mean I can take a stick to them like mutawwi'a? No, because those laws simply do not reach the US. If you're only referring to the SixWhatever guy's liabilities within US law, then I suppose we'll see how that plays out.
