FW: [Full-disclosure] Facebook Police

["Murda Mcloud" <murdamcloud () bigpond com>]

Has anyone tested the 'policy' in a court of law? Ie, someone has created a
'fake' profile and then been sued or prosecuted by Facebook for doing so?

They have been sued by real people who had their names used on the fake
profiles, though.

I'm sure people have made all manner of defamatory statements on Facebook
using the 'anonymity' of it.
Google were recently forced to reveal the name of an anonymous blogger.

If the police were to stray on the wrong side of the law(which never
happens...) in using the 'fake' identity then perhaps they could be
prosecuted.

I can't see that Facebook's policy actually, physically stops you from
creating a fake ID but if they were to find out that you had done so, then
they would be 'justified' in deleting your account, and if the real person
you have pretended to be finds out, then you could be in trouble.

If, however, I said my name was Zaphod Beeblebrox(apologies to Douglas
Adams) then would I get in trouble?

People assuming false identities on MY internet?  Heaven forbid.  I am
quite appalled by this drastic revelation.

should be illegal for law enforcement to go undercover.  If you assume it is
legal for a cop to go undercover ... then he/she is using a real name.
 Therefore no laws or policy's are being broken.
