OPINION: Private things turn up in court cases. This has always been the case, and there are many people in jail, paying fines or out of a job because of what they have said or done in private.Yet when a court wants to use material from a social networking page in a case there is a web-wide sharp intake of breath.There are objections to the use of this material and shock that this use is even possible at all.
