Formerly a chairman of the FTC, Muris is now a lawyer at law firm O'Melveny & Myers.

Ive always hated facebook.

End Of Story.

If the government hate you they will make a page on facebook ridiculing you and putting your life up there.

Facebook makers should be in prison for bringing this sh1t invention of theres into existence. The government use cr1p like there site, to destroy people.

Facebook makers equal absolute scum.

Well, that's comforting....

I guess it's only a matter of time before they re-write some laws and have the gestapo kickin' our doors in and torturing us to find out why we would put a status update about enjoying a fresh cup of columbian grown coffee instead of american coffee!!

Geeez...
