THANKS to a friend who
tipped her off, housewife Jules Rahim recently found that a photo of her was
featured on a pornographic website.
According to The Straits
Times, the photo of her in a bikini was also found in a dating site. Below the
photo was a caption which gave the reader a telephone number to call and how
much it cost to chat.
The photo was lifted from
her Facebook account, the report said. Jules posted the photo three years ago.
The mother of four children
told the paper that the hjacking of her photo from Facebook was embarassing.
"People I know may
think wrongly of me," she said.
She has filed two police
reports. She also plans to file a magistrate's complaint at the Subordinate
Courts for intentional harassment.
"I want to sue
them," she told the paper.
The police said they are
investigating the matter.
The report added that it
knew of at least two other Singaporean women who had discovered that their
Facebook pictures were lifted by these two websites.
A lawyer the paper spoke to
said the victims have the right to demand that the sites remove the photos but
it is difficult to make them comply when they are based overseas.
Experts have recommended
that Internet users use the highest privacy settings possible. (The Straits
