13-year-old girl takes on Facebook

A South African girl (13) is standing up to her bullies, even if it means taking on social media giant, Facebook.

This comes after the girl repeatedly received gang rape and murder threats on the online social media platform Instagram, which is owned by Facebook.

Facebook has not complied in helping the girl identify who is behind the attacks, and this has led to the family seeking legal help.

For more on this story, we spoke to Emma Sadleir, a social media law expert, who is helping the family in their quest for more information.
