Hey folk,
I have used facebook and reading this article makes me a little nervous about this use. I may cancel my membership now. What I have experienced on facebook is CENSORSHIP. I joined a group called "You're not a vampire, you're a sparkly fagot in a tree", poking fun at Twilight movies. I returned a couple of weeks later to find that the title of this group had been changed, they swapped the word fagot with douchebag. I asked why, nobody knows, a couple of people told me that it's a more appropriate title. Bullshit, it's blatant censorship. Facebook has been a good tool to keep in contact with overseas friends and relatives, but now doubts about security and the fact that the folks at facebook edit and remove material are making me reconsider whether I will use it in the future. I don't think I will.
