COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Was thinking of that image just this morning: the dignified gentlemanly Uncle Sam pissed off enough to pull off his coat, roll up his sleeves and open up a can of whoop ass on some misguided miscreants. I've a couple of those in my collection in a couple of variations, from the classic post "9/11" rising out of the smoke of the twin towers glaring at a muslin crescent in the east and the same image mid Cheney Administration second term glare at a list concluding in the demand IMPEACH! I should try and pull them together from the varying devices they're stashed on into a blogpost.
ReplyDeleteIf you do, post a link to it here, if you would.

ReplyDeletea BETTER QUESTION:
ReplyDeleteIf the dude was in custody, who deleted his Facebook account?
Good question.
ReplyDeleteB & Comrade, this is entirely supposition but I'm guessing that Facebook has an algorithm that detects surges in activity on a profile and stealths/locks that profile pending further confirmation from the owner. It would be trivial to code and it prevents vandalism and unnecessary server usage. Wikipedia uses something similar.
ReplyDeleteFacebook has a special law enforcement mode that archives and preserves profiles for use as evidence. They take profiles offline upon request of police in order to prevent the suspect or friends / relatives from destroying evidence, but preserve the actual data of the profile as evidence. This came up in a local trial of a campus rapist, he had boasted about date rape on his Facebook page, the cops put in a request to Facebook and they took the page offline and saved it as evidence for the prosecution. It worked too, nobody actually saw him penetrating the girl but what they did see plus what he'd posted on his Facebook profile was enough to convict him.
