The picture was used as proof that she lacked remorse: Wagstaff E (2007) Court case decision reveals dangers of networking sites.

My friend Enrique Quagliano and me are running a little campaign about the importance of forgetting in the internet, based on the work of Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger (author of "Delete") The New York Times wrote about this issue in this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/25/magazine/25privacy-t2.html?pagewanted=1&_r...
