Yes, the writing style was nauseatingly dramatic, but the callous, dismissive tone of most of the commenters is telling.

How would you feel if someone creating a profile/website accusing you of being a child molester? No matter how crudely designed and obvious a fake it was, a lot of people, many of whom you might now, would believe it. These kinds of things don't just wash off and go away.

Some of the points she made were quite good and somewhat scary, but it shows pretty much what facebook has been this whole time, irresponsible, whether it is with privacy or scenarios such as this one.
