Facebook Fight in Germany Leads to Battle Over Privacy - NYTimes.com
Ariane Friedrich, an Olympic high-jump hopeful, published the personal details of a fan who sent her a sexually explicit message, prompting a stir in a country where the right to privacy is sacrosanct.
More than 10,000 people have posted comments on her Facebook page, split between those who cheered her decision as bold move against sexual harassment, and those who chastised her for “vigilante justice.” The “likes” on her Facebook page have jumped from 8,000 to 12,000. Newspapers and television have picked up the controversy as well.
