Whose secret diary was Facebook so keen for you not to read?

Also from the Indie on Tuesday: Whose secret diary was Facebook so keen for you not to read?

"In the Facebook era, where everyone is spilling their secret thoughts for all to read on a social networking site, it is as if nothing is private any more.

So it might seem highly ironic that Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg has been pleading with a Boston court to censure a Harvard magazine that has ferreted out and published a personal journal from his university days and his 2001 application to study at the illustrious college. The judge, Douglas Woodlock, turned him down and ruled that the documents will stay in the public domain."

David Holtzman will no doubt have had a wry grin over the proceedings.
