Court Allows Discovery of Facebook and MySpace
A recent New York state trial court decision, *Romano v. Steelcase Inc., et
al*., is representative of a recent trend of parties seeking, and courts
permitting, discovery of information on social networking sites such as
Facebook and MySpace.  Rejecting the plaintiff’s privacy concerns, the *Romano
*court held that such information is discoverable because the plaintiff’s
damages are at issue.  The court ordered the release of the plaintiff’s
postings, pictures, and other information on the social networking sites.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
