Facebook sued over graphic photograph.

I don't know how much control Facebook has when it comes to what is uploaded. I mean, like on here, the mods don't always see what is posted unless someone reports it so I'm not sure if FB is similar in that way or if they have more control and responsibility as a major social networking site.

As for the photo, that is horrible. What a sick, twisted thing to do. :disgust:

Agreed. I can't see holding Facebook liable for this. The amount of traffic the TMF gets is minuscule in comparison. I just wonder what this guy was thinking, or if thinking even played a part in his mind.
 
A horrible thing to do, and i agree, facebook shouldn't be held to be accountable for this mans actions. However, if this was reported, and a considerable amount of time went on before it was removed, i might see at least a bit of an arguement. That being said, Facebook moderators can't be everywhere at once, and shouldn't be expected to be.
 
I think, suing Facebook, they're going for the deep pockets.

If cases like this win, then up to a certain point, Facebook will be able to absorb them and keep going. Past that point, if the floodgates really open, there will be a danger of seriously crippling Facebook, because there is no way that Facebook could afford the staff it would take to pre-approve every photo before it goes up, and the free unlimited photo space it gives members is one of the features people are used to.

Yup. There's no money in a convicted and unemployed ambulance worker. Lots of money in Facebook though. It sounds like nothing more than the family of a murder victim using her death to get some compensation, which I think makes them no better than the asshole who took the pic and posted it.

Facebook is not to blame here.
 
I disagree that they're exploiting or dishonoring their murdered daughter. I take at face value that they're devastated and want to make somebody pay.

I also agree with this statement. While there have been many instances of families or estates of victims seeking restitution in some manner (as was mentioned before "treasure hunting"), this situation is one where a person in a position of trust decided to go and abuse that trust - if it were my family member who was killed, then had his or her photograph taken by a person in trust and then posted to Facebook or other social networking site, I'd be pretty f***ing upset too.

Now I'm not sure about Facebook, but I know both the mods of TMF and TT do search the various threads and if there is any posted material that violates their policies, they are removed immediately. (A good example is underage images) If Facebook also has moderators to ensure any form of compliance, (you'd think after so many issues over privacy...) the questions become this: how long was the picture on Facebook before it was noticed by the victim's family and then, based on that answer, would it have been reasonable to assume that the Facebook moderators should have noticed this and taken appropriate action? If the picture was only up for a brief amount of time then I believe it would be difficult to sue them successfully, given how many people use Facebook, how much material is posted on their servers for mods to sift through, and on top, all of the great fun Facebook has had prior re. privacy concerns. If this picture, however, was online and visible for an extended period of time (i.e. weeks) with inaction then the family may have a case as it becomes an issue of an apparent lack of due dilligence on Facebook's behalf.

I think Facebook may be somewhat liable at the end of the day, but not enough to satisfy the victim's family as it was the disgraced paramedic's choice to take the picture and upload the picture to the servers for public view. I respect the family's need for an outlet to vent their frustrations over a truly heinous act but instead of suing Facebook, and if they feel the need to sue anybody, perhaps it would be more feasible and prudent to sue the paramedic services and/or whoever pays them.

(FOR THE RECORD: ALL ABOVE STATEMENT = IMO)
 
Just like here or any other heavily populated website, the admins can't possibly accept every uploaded image, so they auto allow it and put faith in people not to do shit like this.

While it isn't FB's fault many courts would see it as exactly that, not only rewarding the people responsible, but enabling many more idiots to follow suit.

It's unfortunate to say the least.

I think WIP is probably right. It's a terrible thing for the family to attempt to cope with and it's more than likely that they are lashing out at anyone involved in this incident.Their lawyer may be a different story. If this is true about the family lashing out, then it's understandable.

I guess on a little bit of the flip side of that, the current course of action is a bit irrational. It's already been said, that millions upon millions of pictures are uploaded on the site everyday. Mods can't catch all the bad photos. So they have to rely on us to help out.

I'm not sure on how this issue should be handled, but I can only hope that it's handled fairly, and everything will work out for both parties.

As for the guy that took the pic AND posted it :disgust: .. I say leave him with the family for like an hour or two.
