Yahoo has been sued for $3 million because it allegedly failed to remove nude pictures from the Web.
According to the Associated Press Cecilia Barnes, filed the lawsuit claiming her ex-boyfriend posted unauthorized personal profiles of her containing nude photos, her e-mail address and work phone number.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the Associated Press reports former boyfriend also posed as Barnes in Yahoo chat rooms and directed men to the profiles.
"Due to these profiles and online chats, unknown men would arrive without warning at plaintiff's work expecting to engage in sexual relations with her," the lawsuit claims.
And they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. What a dick!
According to the article in the link, Yahoo was warned by Barnes to remove them and failed to do so. If that is truly the case, Yahoo would bear some burden, though the boyfriend ought to be fried right along with them!!!

But who's fault is that? Yahoo's or the boyfriend's?
