Facebook tried to prevent a 14-year-old girl from suing it over a naked photo – and failed

A lawyer for the teenager, who cannot be named because of her age, compared the publishing of the photo to a method of child abuse.

A high court judge in Belfast on Monday rejected Facebook’s attempt to have the claim by the girl struck out. She is also taking legal action against the man who allegedly posted the picture in what lawyers claim is the first case of its kind in the UK.
