Walmart was permitted by the Colorado courts to subpoena Facebook, Myspace and Meetup.com for the profiles of several employees that were suing the retailer regarding work related injuries.
I wrote about a similar Canadian case that established that what you find in Google, other search engines, and unrelated Facebook pages may be used as the basis for a motion for the production of the subject’s entire Facebook page as happened in KOURTESIS V. JORIS (2007). Another Canadian case is Murphy v. Perger, [2007] O.J. No. 5511 (S.C.J.) (QL). These cases are becoming more common and of greater significance as social sites become a larger part of our lives.
