A photo of an Egyptian protester holding a sign saying “I love Facebook” has become viral on Twitter via the shortened address http://yfrog.com/h3g76hj and now it’s beginning to show up on Facebook.
The first translation of the sign from Arabic into English showed up in a tweet by NBC’s Richard Engel, and then the media company’s publicist Ashley McCollum forwarded he shortened URL to us once it started getting retweeted. The image really speaks for itself so we’ve reproduced it for you below.

It doens't say "I Love Facebook" . it says:
"Thank you… Egyptian youth
Facebook
We resist, We won't leave"

it's not saying "I love Facebook", it's saying "Thank you, Egyptian youths on Facebook, We are standing still, and won't leave"

WE watch in Nigeria how the Egyptian youths are changing the face of their insensitive government using Facebook and twitter to coordinate dissent action, and we salute their courage. Facebook or not, the people at any time will use the most available and affordable means of communication to launch into action when they are pushed to the wall by the same recycled people in government who would not provide basic social amenities for her citizens. Some parts of Africa are already over-saturated only needing to be seeded to action through the new media.

Facebook moderation will actually side with persons who are exhibiting apparent anti-social and psychopathic type behaviour, against ordinary users. Facebook is significantly worse than a free for all unmoderated forum, in that individuals and ideologies which are of a nightmarish quality appear to collaborate with Facebook moderation or manipulate Facebook moderation to get Facebook accounts which would have the skill base and intent to challenge the likes of psychopathic behaviour on Facebook, permabanned from Facebook. Facebook is also hacked at an upper systems level and the hackers can decide which postings made by ordinary Facebook account holders will be allowed to appear on Facebook pages, of a similar software type to the White House Facebook page, furthermore since the hackers allow the blocked from display posting to appear to the poster himself / herself and his / her Facebook friends, a poster may be totally unaware that his / her posts are being blocked from being seen by the general community on Facebook pages.

You must NOT allow those apps that says " Access my data any time " !! With that, the spammer can post on your friends wall from your account + Post updates from your account and do many other things without even getting you noticed ! So beware of such apps. Here you can get to know about Security & Privacy measures you MUST take to keep you facebook account safe -> http://www.Crazyinter.net/10-facebook-privacy-set...
