NY Magistrate: Legal Papers Can Be Served Via Facebook
New submitter Wylde Stile writes with an interesting case that shows just how pervasive social networking connections have become, including in the eyes of the law. A Staten Island, NY family court support magistrate allowed a Noel Biscoch to serve his ex-wife legal papers via Facebook. Biscoch tried to serve his ex-wife Anna Maria Antigua the old-fashioned way — in person and via postal mail — but his ex-wife had moved with no forwarding address. Antigua maintains an active Facebook account, though, and had even liked some photos on the Biscoch's present wife's Facebook page days before the ruling. The magistrate concluded that the ex-wife could be served through Facebook. If this catches on, I bet a lot of people will end up with legally binding notices caught by spam filters or in their Facebook accounts' "Other" folders.
God you are a whining bitch. stop spamming unrelated posts with your crap. if you do not like the site then leave... i plan to do so myself when i can no longer just reload the page a couple of times without "beta." and get there (i realise this is very technical for you with only 25 years experience with techology (did you mean handheld games?)).
Just STFU, beta sucks enough without you, and it aint gonna change.
