  Deathwatch Gets a Slap on the Wrist

  Posted Monday, May 05, 2008 2:59 PM | By Christopher Beam

  We’ve gotten complaints about the Hillary Deathwatch before, but this is a new one.

  Dear Application Developer,

  A Facebook user requested that we forward an anonymous report that your application The Hillary Clinton Deathwatch (application ID #30705275390) is violating Facebook Terms of Use.  The user selected "Attacks individual or group" as the violation category.  Any text entered into the additional comments box appears here: …

  I find this application offensive. If you continue to approve of applications like this, I will discontinue my account on Facebook and encourage all my readers to do so. [E.A.]

  To protect the privacy of our users, we cannot disclose any further information.  Facebook is not taking any action against your application based on this particular report, but we are passing this along so you are made aware of potential problems and respond accordingly to ensure you are in compliance.  Please note that failure to comply with the Terms may result in an enforcement action. …

  Thanks,

  Facebook

  And here we were thinking the Facebook team was on Obama's side.
