Fake accounts

A few weeks ago I found this article on a Swedish  newspaper site that somebody created this Facebook page but it was fake, but what "they" did was that they posted that special famous candy store were giving out free candy all day or if it was during a specific hour so a whole lot of people rush down there and they were demanding their candy!! This is so crazy, we could create a fake company, a fake person and nobody would know. Of course that candy store got in contact with Facebook telling them to close down the page.. so it all worked out. I just read in New york times about the same thing, and the trubble Facebook is having about this. Cuz they dont really know how to sort this out.. they cant demand like a document or something beacuse Facebook is for everybody right?

Facebook says it has always taken the problem seriously, and recently stepped up efforts to cull fakes from the site. “It’s pretty much one of the top priorities for the company all the time,” said Joe Sullivan, who is in charge of security at Facebook.

So is it right or wrong of Facebook to decline people any form of money or maybe just a sorry? In personal opinion Iam kind of in the middle, Facebook is the easiest social network we have out there and I would love to fint out how many accounts that are actually real or not! Just something to think about!  :)

Mahalo!
