Can You Subpoena Someone's Facebook Page in a Civil Case [Revisited Again]

I previously blogged about whether you can subpoena someone's Facebook profile in a civil case.  The issue came up again, this time in the context of a personal injury lawsuit, where the defendant sought copies of the plaintiff's Facebook page, including deleted messages and photos.  Professor Goldman discusses the case in a post and I added my comments as well.  I don't see a lot of value in cross-posting (posting what I post there here), but I thought in the interest of completeness, I'd link to all three posts:
  1. So...Can you Subpoena Someone's Facebook Page? (Sept. 25, 2009)
  2. Can You Subpoena Someone's Facebook Page in a Civil Case? [Revisited] (June 3, 2010)
  3. Deleted Facebook and MySpace Posts Are Discoverable--Romano v. Steelcase (Sept. 29, 2010)
There you have it.
