A Facebook use Debbie Douez has sued facebook for using her pictures for an advertisement last year. She said when she liked page, Cool Entrepreneurs, her name was appeared and read on the side bars saying "Debbie Douez liked Cool Entrepreneurs". Her lawyer said she was not informed or asked about using her name. Her lawyer said "If you're going to be using somebody's name or somebody's portrait for advertising purposes, you need to obtain their consent," which is highly agreeable. Facebook Inc has a month to respond to supreme court.
I think social networking is developing into a problematic feature. Each day, more and more people are dealing with social networking problems. For example, there is a huge amount of cyber bullies and situations like this.
