The Facebook posts Palin doesn't want you to see. - By John Dickerson - Slate Magazine

The Facebook posts Palin doesn't want you to see. - By John Dickerson - Slate Magazine:

"How much work does it take to keep everything so sanitized? To help me find out, my colleague Jeremy Singer-Vine wrote a program to capture comments to Palin's page before the clean-up crew could arrive. (Here's an explanation of how Jeremy's program works.) All these posts were initially public, if only for a few minutes. We looked at the comments to 10 Palin posts over 12 days, capturing the deletions in the 24 hours after the posts were live. In that period, a rough average of 10 percent of total posts were deleted."

Amazing. Hackers can do anything.
