‘Deactivated’ Facebook Account Is Discoverable In Litigation

Eric Goldman for Forbes:

Brannon Crowe injured his knee. He says it happened at work, so he sued his employer. Based on a Facebook message Crowe allegedly sent to a friend, his employer thinks Crowe suffered the injury on a personal fishing trip. The opinion doesn’t explain how the employer obtained that message, but it made the employer curious what other goodies might be in Crowe’s Facebook account.
