An elderly friend of my partner's family had her Facebook account hacked some time ago. Every so often, I get a friend request from an account using her avatar with the same name, but with some characters appended or some slight different spelling.

When this happens, I submit a report to Facebook and a few days later I get a message from Facebook telling me they have reviewed my report and that they've ruled that the account is not in breach of their rules.

Any lawsuit or quagmire they get embroiled in has very little sympathy from me.
