Facebook/FaceBOOM!

It's interesting to see how countries other than the U.S. are getting involved with - and critiquing - social media, including Facebook. This article is about a South American satirist who had his Facebook account, and the fan page for his book, shut down because they didn't like him poking fun at Facebook...

Interesting. I continue to trust Facebook ever less.

To the last paragraph, I don't believe there's illegal copyright infringement because the logos would clearly be protected as parody. Of course, Facebook has the legal right to shut down the group on its own servers, and frankly the existence of such a group on Facebook strikes me as biting the hand that feeds, but different people protest in different ways.
