Dutch court orders Facebook to reveal revenge porn account ownership
Facebook has been ordered to come clean about the origins of a sex film featuring a 21-year-old Dutch woman which was placed on the social media platform.
The woman, named as Chantal, went to court to force Facebook to reveal the name of the person who opened the account and uploaded the video in January.
Facebook Nederland told the court all the information about who opened the account has been wiped from their system.
Nevertheless, the court ruled Facebook has two weeks to gather all the information it can about who is behind the account. If it continues to insist all the information has been wiped, this must be verified by an independent third party, the court said.
