Summary

A Philadelphia TV news anchor is suing Facebook, Reddit and others for $10 million. FTVLive reports that WTXF-TV anchor Karen Hepp contends an unauthorized security photo of her is being used to promote a dating site, erectile dysfunction ads and pornography sites. The lawsuit says the photo was used on Facebook to promote a dating site. The photo also appears on Imgur, which has 300-million users, in a section labeled “MILF”. Hepp says she’s not totally sure where the photo came from, but believes it was taken from a security camera in a New York City convenience store without her permission.
