http://archive.is/MNNfv In 2009 an insurance company revoked a woman's benefits because of photos she posted on facebook. She was on leave from her job, diagnosed with major depression, recieved sick leave benefits from her job & insurance company. Benefits revoked when she posted a picture of her having fun at a bar, claiming that she was no longer depressed & ready to return to work. The woman argues that her doctor told her to try and go and have fun, along with going to gym.

Vito Colucci Jr., a private investigator in Stamford, Conn. who has been hired to investigate health insurance claims, said he uses Facebook regularly to gain insight into a policy holder's life. "This is a tool now for the modern-day investigator," he said. "It's a tool to see what an individual is doing. They're putting it out in the public for everyone to see." When he's hired by health insurance companies, he said he might use Facebook to determine an individual's schedule or learn about a person's activities. But though it's a valuable tool, Colucci said it's just one tool out of many that an investigator might use.
