Facebook told to hand over all data on user, including fake account set up by extortionist

Italy’s Data Protection Authority has ordered Facebook to turn over all the data it has on a user, along with data from a fake page that a troll set up in his name and used to extort him.

In addition, the company’s been ordered to hand over details of how the personal data was used, including who it was sent to or who might have obtained knowledge about it.

This is an interesting one. I can't wait to see how this one is resolved as it will apply to so many other accounts that might be suspect.

The malice and defamation involved, as reported, is rather extreme. Not surprised the court ordered the data dump!
