[casual_games] Check out my Facebook profile

[Matthew Wegner]

Couple points:

- My guess is Donald just used a tool to blast invites to his entire address
book.  Probably not a good idea, but I don't think he intentionally targeted
a mailing list.

- Facebook already reverted their terms of service, removing the permanent
clause.

- Is it really a surprise that providing value to advertisers relies upon
accurate demographic information?  There are more important concerns in the
world to worry about, and FB is certainly opt-in.  Don't like it, don't use
it...
