Is it illegal to mess up someones Twitter account/YouTube if they gave you their password? - J$ - 03-06-2014 04:58 PM
May sound a little immature, but I use to be Facebook friends with this person, was an admin with him for this pretty big facebook page, he decides to go solo and deletes me. He doesn't change any of the passwords, I go into the accounts, change the pictures to something funny, and make funny tweets. Illegal? Or is payback a bitch?
I have changed all the passwords now to a password I only know.

Tampering with peoples' privacy is most likely illegal.

It's not illegal. But it's wrong. Everyone has their own privacy. Don't violate that. It's not good.

Since you already have the password for it, that means you did not obtain the information illegally. So if he decides to go solo, then it is his responsibility to change the password if he doesn't others to continue to access it. So while you have the login info, feel free to make any changes as you wish. He should have changed the password, but apparently he didn't think about that. Although, morally, it is wrong to intensionally mess it up, but I realize you want to pay him back. Maybe just put some funny pictures or something on there but don't mess it up too bad. Hopefully he gets the hint to change the password eventually lol.
Can you answer mine?

"May sound a little immature"? Along with the rest of your questions and answers I would say extremely immature.
