Eric Olson sued his own uncle because his uncle (Randall LaBrie) added a childhood picture of him onto Facebook.
Randall then posted some teasing comments on the photo and Eric wasn't too happy about it.
We've all been there.
Everyone has terrible pictures somewhere on Facebook, the sensible among us just untag ourselves.
Some people just get over it, accept the picture and laugh at themselves.
Now, some people think it's a good idea to sue the person who added the photo. SPOILER: It's not.
Randall was sued for harassment but the court session didn't last long and was definitely not won.
The judge dismissed the appeal and it was also rejected from a higher court.
The judge said: "Comments that are mean and disrespectful, coupled with innocuous family photos, do not affect a person's safety, security, or privacy -- and certainly not substantially so"
There is some strange people in the internet, I feel the long term solution is to not take pictures of them.
For more information or just to know where I got my information from.
