in California have enacted a law punishing people who register on with facebook false identity and with the intention of profiting at the expense of someone pretending to be George Clooney and Sylvester Stallone cost a year in prison. The law SB 1411 in effect since January 1, 2011, was strongly pushed by Sen. Joe Simitian, and provides up to 12 months in prison and a fine of up to $ 1,000 fine.
The offense is "identity theft" and sanctions will be harder depending on how you use the stolen identity (threats, and harm others notice, cheating, etc. ..) the law also applies to those who open an e-mail accounts under false identification.
Large Hollywood stars can then sleep soundly, even if they are not the only ones with fake profiles on Facebook, it is ultimately a false profile of open fashion by ex-boyfriends in search of revenge, or strangers having fun by stealing the identities of others.
This phenomenon is not only the U.S. but also in Italy. In fact, in Italy are mostly athletes, politicians and the singers to be under the eye of the identity thieves, the list of Italian VIPs cloned on facebook is large enough.
Fortunately, in Italy there is a law very similar to California, that "the Legislative Decree of June 30, 2003 No. 167, which includes fines and prison sentences for those who make unlawful use of personal data of others. "
So avoid using the identity of another person on facebook, "dear little scamps, get caught if you go straight to jail.
