Another reminder, that what goes online, stays online.

A Toronto court has ruled that information posted on a Facebook user's account may be revelant to a case filed after a car accident. 

In a precedent-setting decision, a Toronto judge has ordered a man suing over injuries from a car accident to answer questions about content on his Facebook page that is off limits to the public.
