On the heels of a New York state court approving service in a child support case via Facebook, a federal court in New York has approved the parties' agreement that potential plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against Gawker Media over intern pay may be served notice of the lawsuit via e-mail. Mark v. Gawker Media LLC, Civil No. 13-4347 (order Nov. 3, 2014).

Social Service: New York Court Allows Legal Notice Via Facebook
A man may serve legal notice on his ex-wife in a child support case via Facebook because other methods have proved fruitless, a New York family court judge has ruled. Noel B. v. Anna Maria A., Docket No. F-00787-13/14B (N.Y. Fam. Ct. Sept. 12, 2014).
While this is not the first time that a court has allowed service of legal notice via Facebook, it differs from other cases in that in this case the court approved the Facebook notice as the primary means of service, rather than a secondary method as in other cases.
