Photos and videoLast year Joe’s sister, Sally, and her new partner, Tim, hosted a family Christmas dinner. Everybody was having great fun - Joe with his mobile phone snapped some funny photos of his family, including Tim wearing an eye patch that came out of his Christmas cracker. The following morning when he was back at home, Joe uploaded the Christmas dinner photos to his Facebook profile and tagged the family members in them.

A couple hours after uploading the photos, Joe received an urgent phone call from his sister, Sally. She asked Joe to remove the photos that had Tim in them, explaining that publishing his photo and his location in Facebook could bring him into serious danger. Joe removed the photo immediately and may have avoided a potential lawsuit.
