Enrique Novo fought Facebook and won. The lawyer, who currently works in the municipality of Río Cuarto, Córdoba, says Facebook failed to fulfill several judicial rulings in his favor and must now pay him AR$270,000 (US$18,000). He asked Facebook to delete the profile, but the social network refused, saying it didn’t break any rules. Like a good lawyer, Novo decided to sue. Facebook quickly deleted the account after Novo filed suit but, crucially, never notified users that had been “friends” with the faker.
