More on the Facebook scene

It's been a rough few weeks for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ever since he unveiled his company's plan to personalize the Web. After a string of Facebook security breaches and outcry from US Senators over Facebook's new privacy policies, the New York Times revealed the complexities of Facebook's new privacy policy (now longer than the Constitution). Now, it seems users are stepping back and taking a hard look at their relationship to America's most popular social network--some dissatisfied users even planning a "mass exodus" from the site.

Aaaah... Facebook users. You know somehow I saw this coming a mile away. It's as if it was completely obvious to me that Facebook was NOT a place to have a private life. It was as if I was immediately tipped off that they wanted the truth and nothing but the truth and would go to any means to get the truth to the questions they asked so that they could have your info. I must have a sixth sense that allows me to see these magical things.

Satire aside, Facebook is carving it's own little niche in the world as the 'real life' social network. The problem with it is that Facebook itself is not a part of 'real life'. In short, the two should not mix so dangerously. Those of us who are experienced with the internet know exactly what happens when offline and online worlds clash. Bad things happen, generally to individuals.

On the note of the article at hand, not being directly about Facebook's screwups, but rather about Facebook's CEO being depicted as a sex maniac. I find this giant gaping flaw that makes the article seem mis-leading to me.

Hot on the heels of this controversy comes news out of Hollywood that probably won't help Zuckerberg's image. A leaked version of the script for The Social Network (aka the "Facebook Movie"), which dramatizes the fledgling company's rise, paints the young entrepreneur as a "ruthless and untrustworthy sex maniac," writes the Times of London.
The film, slated for an October release, is set to star Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake. Written by Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network is based on Ben Mezrich's book The Accidental Billionaires. The film unfolds during flashbacks that occur while Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) faces former business associates in court in 2008.

 Reading the above quote, one should come across the answer to the fill in the blank that someone forgot to add to the title of the article. "The Social Network Depicts Facebook CEO As 'Sex Maniac' IN A MOVIE.

 My immediate response after seeing that part of the article was "Wait hold on my care meter just about twenty yards.". I mean, really?! It's a big deal that a guy starring in a movie is portrayed as a pervert? I don't know about my readers but I definitely don't think of the actor when I see a character in a movie.
