The judge ordered Facebook to comply the data required  within two weeks  in handing over the suspect’s name, email address, mobile phone number, birth date, computer IP address and the date and time the film was posted, viewed and removed.The court observed to comply, “an independent third party must be appointed to investigate the question whether Facebook has or had the details and compile a report”,  after Facebook said, it no longer had any relevant information after the account was deleted.

The Lawyer for the woman told the local media that his client’s life had “turned into hell”. Her ex-boyfriend denies posting the video, according to local media reports.He told De Telegraaf newspaper that his client did not believe the relevant data had been deleted.

It was  unclear whether Facebook would comply with the court’s ruling or appeal, but it stressed the data had been removed from its servers and the company no longer had it.”The offending account was ultimately deleted before we received any request for user data, so all information about it was removed from our servers in accordance with our terms and applicable law,” Facebook said. It has been added “We deeply empathise with the victim’s experience and share her desire to keep this kind of non-consensual imagery off Facebook.”
