Virginia Backs Off on Facebook Fines

The Virginia Workers Compensation Commission announced that it would cease fining social-networking giant Facebook $200 per day for refusing to comply with a subpoena from Colgan Air, which previously employed flight attendant Shana Hensley, CNET reported.

Hensley was diagnosed with a herniated disk from a back injury suffered while on the job, and she collected disability benefits for 18 months, which were paid by the airline. But the Manassas, Va.-based company said Hensley was not cooperating with efforts to place her in a desk job and claimed that pictures from her vacation posted on Facebook were evidence that her injuries were not severe, according to CNET.
