Arrested for impersonating someone on facebook? - Iratebeggar357 - 07-16-2013 06:42 AM
No i have not impersonated anybody on facebook but i know someone who has and i'm wondering if you can get sued/arrested for pretending to be somebody else on facebook? If you don't do anything to make the person look bad or anything rude to anybody is what I mean. Because i know that 1/3 of facebook is a bunch of fake accounts including site models, celebrities, anybody famous etc. Can you get sued? Or arrested either way.

Yes the Facebook police can arrest you and behead you without a trial. In front of your mom if your under 18.
Not really. A "famous person" which you impersonate can have your account deleted and possibly sue should you defame them.

People get sued all the time for fake profiles
First of all, using another person's photos is copyright infringement and a breach of the DMCA
Then you can add identity theft to the charges
