Facebook banned from showing sex clip

Belfast - Facebook has been banned from showing a sex tape after a woman claimed she was filmed while drunk by her ex-boyfriend.

The woman, a classroom assistant from Co Antrim in Northern Ireland, was granted an injunction against the social networking website and others. In an affidavit to the High Court the woman explained she had ended her relationship with her former partner after nine years.

However, she said it became clear he had made a video of them having sex and was threatening to show it to her friends, family and employer.

The video had been made using a mobile phone when the couple had met up one night following their break-up. The woman said she had been drunk at the time and had not consented to the video being made.

The case, believed to be the first of its kind in Northern Ireland, was extended to cover the social networking giant.

It prohibits the defendant from showing, publishing or distributing the video or uploading it to any website.

A judge in Belfast granted the legal protection after hearing the woman's reputation and job were at risk from the alleged threat.

Her lawyers claimed any clips could spread uncontrollably if they were allowed to be uploaded.

The woman, who can't be identified, was in a long-term relationship with the man she alleges is threatening her.

Despite breaking up last year, they had sex again last month after meeting when she was drunk, the court heard.

Five days later she discovered that he claimed to have recorded a 17-minute clip of this on his phone, according to her account. - Belfast Telegraph

Facebook needs to seriously take some steps to stop the scam links from hijacking people's profiles and offering to show them some viral video of some girl who got busted by her dad, or to see who has been viewing your profile, etc. It's an epidemic. And now this is just another video that will be used to scam people into giving these rogue apps permission to access their profiles and spam all their freinds.
