The Great Facebook Debate continues....

So I was reading MX magazine on the train on the way home from uni yesterday and found a very interesting article. The title 'Killer's Facebook Antics' immediately caught my attention. In light of the recent comments and issues about Facebook, I thought I'd post it for those who have not read it.

Gangland murderer Carl Williams is behind bars, but on Facebook he is ‘partying’ with 971 friends, sipping cyber cocktails and taking virtual happy pills.
On Carl Williams Facebook page, which appears to be run by his wife, Roberta, the underworlds killer’s mood today described as ‘happy’.
Roberta told Melbourne Radio Station, 3AW today that the page was legitimate. With a growing list of well-wishers, it verges on a Carl Williams fan site.
It has a photo of a fresh faced and smiling Williams, with his daughter, Dhakota.
The profile states Williams cannot respond to messages, but they are appreciated. “Nasty Messages” however, would be deleted.
“Carl will (answer) once he reads and receives a print out,” it reads.
Victorian prisoners do not have access to the internet and it is clear ho much input Roberta has with the site.
Messages showered praise on the killer. One fan wrote: “Keep your chin up, you have SSSOOO much support out here.”
Williams has received 41 alcoholic drinks on the page and a dozen pills from friends including ‘extra potent’ Viagra.
Crime victims advocate Noel McNamara said today that the Facebook site made Williams out to be a hero and should be banned. “It’s pretty disgusting,” McNamara said.
Among Williams’ friends are fake Facebook profiles for Tony Mokbel and Wayne Carey.
