An article by Michael Legg posted on the Sydney Morning Herald website.
This article discusses the use of Facebook as a means of finding evidence relevant to a litigation.
The article states,"In the US and Canada over the past few years judges have been willing to compel the disclosure of material on social media to the other side in litigation."
The article further states, "...privacy settings do not prevent a court permitting discovery or issuing a subpoena to retrieve information on a social media site. Facebook's policy recognises as much when it says, "We may share your information in response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so".
Material available for litigation may also include content stored on a mobile phone."
