Irish court rules defacing Facebook and physical property the same

09 Jul 2014 • engadget.com

Now, in what’s thought to be the first prosecution of its kind, a man in Ireland has been charged with “frape” – the rather tactless term that describes defacing someone’s Facebook page from within their account.

As the Irish Times reports, the man has been fined €2,000 (just over $2,700) for posting a malicious status update on an ex-girlfriend’s account using her phone.

It’s getting real. Toto, we aren’t in Kansas anymore.
