"Domestic purposes" (personal, family or household affairs, including
recreational purposes) are effectively exempt from the whole Act. (s.36)
It's the purpose, not the system the processing takes place on, which
determines the matter.
I therefore agree with the other comments. However unpleasant, it's not a
Data Protection issue, and is essentially between the individuals concerned.
It is likely to be a breach of the terms of use of the social networking
site (so the aggrieved individual could take action through the site owner)
and may also be a breach of the university's conduct code - which is the
only way I can see the university getting involved.

Subject: posting of photos without consent
We have a situation with some students who have taken photos of other
students whilst on University property without their consent and posted
them on a social networking site with abusive comments.
Is this a breach of DP legislation? Has anyone found themselves in a
similar situation and would be willing to share how they dealt with
this?
Many thanks
Vicky
