Texas woman files $123 million revenge porn suit against Facebook

A Texas woman wants Facebook to pay her $123 million —10 cents for each of its 1.23 billion users — because the social networking site failed to immediately delete “revenge porn” uploaded by an old friend.

The request for compensation was made in a recent lawsuit filed by attorneys representing Meryem Ali of Houston, Texas in which both Facebook and a former acquaintance of the woman, Adeel Shah Khan of Illinois, are named as defendants.

According to The Wrap, the suit alleges that Facebook ignored repeated requests from Ali to rid the site of falsified, lewd images purported to be of her uploaded presumably by Khan.

The suit insists that Khan created an “imposter Facebook” account under Ali’s name, and then uploaded several images in which the woman’s face was edited onto “phony, naked body shots,” including at least one involving a sex act.
