Fashion blogger and influencer sues Facebook over identity of online trolls

A fashion blogger and social media influencer has launched High Court proceedings against Facebook in a bid to identify online trolls.

Lisa McGowan, of Lisa’s Lust List, claims that she is being “trolled, defamed and stalked” by anonymous Facebook and Instagram users, the Irish Independent reports.

Her action in the High Court is aimed at identifying the users in question so action can be taken against them for alleged abuse and harassment.

Mr Justice Anthony Barr yesterday granted permission to serve short notice of the proceedings on Facebook and made the matter returnable to a date next week.
