No sympathy for anyone who uses Facebook and has any issues with it.

In the future, only two kinds of people will have any power in this world: high-school dropouts working for TSA, and emotionally-crippled tech drones at Facebook. No one in either group will have ever read a book.

@Fnarf, Sums up why I avoid flying at all costs and don't have a Facebook page.

A man who endured probably the most high profile fatwā is the last 20 years sent a picture of his passport to some dudes he knows from Facebook?

@me - "in", not "is."

Such is old news:

The very article that you linked us to (now) makes it very clear that Facebook had apologized and re-instated his account under the right name within hours. I know we all love hating on Facebook, but a mistake is a mistake; and fixing one quickly and courteously shouldn't earn you scorn.
