Facebook Photo

[gedwards]

Hi there can someone advise me here.........I had an investigation today into my absence in Feb, run of the mill situation. However during the investigation I was presented with a picture of me at go karting which was printed from my Facebook page. The go karting was the month before but I just added it when I was bored on the couch with my whiplash after my accident (the point of the investigation)

The picture was submitted by a fellow Facebook "friend" who I work with and they wont tell me who.

Just because I posted the picture does not incriminate me into something they were suggesting which I believe was lieing about my whiplash. I feel my human rights are breached or something, sureley they have no right to bring my personal life into work especially when there is no supporting evidence that something untoward was going on.

Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately they can, but they would need proof of exactly when that picture was taken, not when it was posted on the internet.

Social networking sites are proving to be a rich source of info for all kinds of purposes.

Re: Facebook Photo

Find out how many copies (files and prints) were made of your photo.

Then do them for breach of copyright.

Alternatively, tell the twits at work to look at the EXIF data in the jpg they downloaded, as that will tell them when it was taken and with what camera. If it was taken with one of the latest smart phones, it might even state where it was taken.

Re: Facebook Photo

Thanks guys, sounds above board then. Dont think the copyright will work because its a public platform and I've given access to the person as they are my friend on there.

Just feel like I've been called a liar even tho I have evidence of the smash, repair works, doctors line etc etc

Also its anoying they wont tell me who submitted the photo so I dont know who to delete off Facebook lol. Is there any leagl way I can get them to tell me as it was submitted against me so should I not be entitled to know who's making the alligations?

Were you signed off work by a doctor?
Was the time and date stamp on the photo?(clearly not I am assuming).
Did you have a receipt for the go karting? What was the weather like on the day you went and the day that you uploaded it?
The first question is the most important by the way. And did you upload the photo after the hours of your working day?

You do realise that you have an ******** on your profile, right?

Re: Facebook Photo

Hahaha yeah I know, a proper two faced C**T lol

Yes I was signed off and the photo was uploaded in the evening so after working hours. I dont have a receipt and the photo was indoors. It's actualy laughable they brought this to the table, I just feel violated (if thats the right word)

Re: Facebook Photo

Some people keep their profiles secret, though if a 'friend' shopped you, this would not have helped.

I am debating making my profile confidential, and like you, don't think any of my friends there would abuse their position.

It is hard for me to understand how anyone purporting to be a friend can attempt to undermine you or stab you in the back in any way whatsoever. It would take a truly dispicable person to do such a thing. As you say a real C**T and that is a word I almost never use!

How would I go about doing this so I can rub they're faces in it lol?????

Exactly I cant understand it myself. The 5 work mates Ive got on Facebook talk to me and there's no apparent issues with any of them. I havent done anything to upset anyone either. Totaly taken back by this but the only real way to be sure is to delete them all which is unfair.

Then your employer can go **** themselves since there is no proof and that you didn't call the album, go karting earlier today......

You'll need a picture viewer which will work with your computer; for the Windoze operating system, I recommend IrFanView which is both excellent and free - link

Open the picture in IrFanView, click on the "i" button, then click on the EXIF button if it is present.

Re: Facebook Photo

I cancelled my Facebook account as it is used for marketing purposes now and is no longer the social network it began life as. Is your profile on private? Employers do look at employees pages - especially when they're off sick. I know mine does, someone has even been reprimanded for making threats when they've bad-mouthed management.

Employers warned against demanding Facebook details from staff

ICO says it would have 'very serious concerns' if UK employers asked employees for Facebook login and password details

The Information Commissioner's Office has warned employers in the UK that it would have "very serious concerns" if they were to ask for Facebook login and password details from existing or would-be employees, following reports of such demands in the US.

Re: Facebook Photo

But if the pages are not on private anyone can look at them, not just facebook friends. The employer could then print off the photo and say it was someone else. Does the Freedom of Information Act mean that they would have to disclose who told them about this? That would be fun if they had printed it off themselves.
