This doesn’t seem like news to me. All photo albums can be subpoenaed. Even the ones on your shelf.

Not a fifth amendment issue?

There is no such thing as “privacy” on the Interwebs.

And once a photo is uploaded it’s on the net *forever*.

This is standard discovery. She would need to disclose evidence whether it was on FB, or physical photographs in her drawer.

Both young and elder users of this new phenomenon substitute for the backyard gossip fence may now see what many more perceptive individuals saw from the beginning. . . that its unintended consequences will be, and are, many!

Not a fifth amendment issue?This isn't a criminal case, and she's not claiming the photos would incriminate her. Even if she did, the law is very complicated about whether you can claim the 5th Amendment for "preexisting documents," since no one compelled her to create the photos in the first place.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Post a picture of your self with a big pile of cash every month titled “Bringing home the bacon”.
If something bad happens, change the pic to a pile 10% that amount.
You can then claim the 90% as a loss in your litigation.

I am having the same reaction: why is this news? They can subpoena her private emails, phone records, and mailed correspondence as well.

I was going to say that it is stupid to put sensitive personal information on a website, but then I remembered it is now a fad to eat laundry detergent.

Yes, I personally don't see the problem if this limited to discovery in something like a personal injury lawsuit. As long as there are reasonable protection to further dissemination. Funny though as recall and maybe it's changed Facebook used to hold that it owned all information entered into it's site and it was free to whatever it wanted with it.
I don't Facebook, never will, if my friends and family find it to difficult to send me an email with pictures or news than it or I must not be important enough to them. And for the life of me I never understood this insanity of friending, how sad a person must be to need such false validation.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Facebook is a government monitored, if not government sponsored & controlled, personal information mining operation.

So are people who commit fraud. There is nothing really shocking about this ruling. She claims the injuries caused her to become a recluse with very limited physical ability. The defendant believes otherwise can be proven by FB posts. Those posts should be admissible.
