More Facebook Shadiness

[Happy Panther]

Last month, while wasting a few moments on Facebook, my pal Brendan O’Malley was surprised to see that his old friend Alex Gomez had “liked” Discover. This was surprising not only because Alex hated mega-corporations but even more so because Alex had passed away six months earlier.

The Facebook “like” is dated Nov. 1, which is strange since Alex “passed [away] around March 26 or March 27,” O’Malley told me. Worse, O’Malley says the like was “quite offensive” since his friend “hated corporate bullshit.”

So I checked my likes yesterday and I had liked "Samsung Mobile" on November 28th. Except I didn't. Facebook did it for me. And my anti-corporate cousin just liked Subway. Yesterday my vegetarian romanian friend liked McDonalds.

I don't care much about facebook but it seems like the latest failed attempt to generate revenues.

None for me.

It is very easy to accidentally click something on facebook though. When you "like" something, it doesn't ask for confirmation, so its very possible you simply clicked like on something by mistake.
