A convicted child rapist in North Ireland is suing both Facebook and a Facebook page administrator, claiming that the administrator posted his exact address to a paedophile-monitoring page.
The administrator of the page, "Keeping our kids safe from predators II", is Joe McCloskey.
That site seems to have been abandoned, but a similarly named site, "Keeping our kids safe from predators 2", as of Friday seemed to be picking up where the other page left off.
McCloskey admitted in High Court to "naming and shaming" 400 sex offenders on the Facebook page.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, as of Thursday the High Court was seeking un-redacted versions of evidence to get to the bottom of what, exactly, the Facebook vigilante posted.
The plaintiff can't be identified.read more
