Huh, that’s interesting. They’re stupid but not dumb ;-) But I’m sure a lot of people would create bogus accounts just to be able to harass people on FB, etc.

Good luck figuring it out. It will definitely be harder to poison what’s already been posted as others have pointed out.

Never posted just read stuff.
policy states bogus accounts will be deleted till proven other wise.
Something with name attached, electric bill DR license whatever.
They specify blacking out personal info.

Nothing at FB I give a crap about so didnt even bother.

New toss away email, new FB account when and if I get a “roundtuit”

POISONING THE FACEBOOK DATA WELL

As a Masters in Computer Software, here is the approach to poisoning the Facebook data well. It can be done.

Facebook could not just revert back to archived data because it is unknown when good and bad data occur.

RANDOM: Random character insertion into your data is least effective, easiest to program, but easiest to detect and reverse.

TRANSFORMATION: Words would be transformed based upon type or class, such as Color: white is green, red is blue etc.
Person: father is grandma, niece is cousin etc.
This requires a big dictionary, but it is impossible to detect.

TRANSPOSE: Words of similar part of speech are transposed within the paragraphs. eg Dog chased the cat. > Cat chased the dog.

REPLACEMENT: Part of Speech is replaced.
eg Dog chased the cat. > Dog married the cat.

Random garble would occur in the final stages.

PROGRAMMERS: Any motivated programmer can get started. Just point Facebook to your website and press the Garble button.

ADVERTISERS: Ad companies would become annoyed as data, over time cannot be trusted. In fact, the entire Facebook site could be destroyed in this fashion. But I do not recommend this.

A Garble button would be nice though. Any takers?
