consumerist.com — Facebook contacted Stephanie and agreed to take down the facebook page of her dead brother, an award-winning investigative journalist and Nazi hunter. "Thank you again, Ben," she wrote. "My family has no words that truly express how we feel."

I don't really get how the wishes of someones family should be judged greater than the wishes of the diseased to have his work published? If you loose all your rights when you die then what good is a will? She needs at least to prove power of attorney. What about the wishes of the diseases, he wished to have a facebook profile and his sister doesn't. I guess if there needs to be a change it should be a form on facebook "Upon your death do you want your facebook profile to continue or be removed? [ ] Yes, [ ] No."

Why was the sister trying to hack his computer and get into his online file storage account? He didn't share those passwords with her while he was alive. What makes her think she is welcome to peruse that information now?

I'm not surprised that they finally did it...just like the whole TOS debacle.That said, I think the whole company culture is perfectly in sync with Zuckerberg's holier-than-though d-bag attitude.Act first, hope no one notices, apologize for ignorant actions later...welcome to facebook!
