The Facebook Panopticon, Part 6

[tangaroa]

My dad either created a Facebook account with a fake name or he changed the name on his existing account to a fake one. I know this because Facebook is telling me to friend this account with a fake name, and I recognize his old BBS nickname. My guess is that we both used parts of our real names in our email addresses and Facebook is matching us on that.
