FB’s glistening new search engine makes finding interesting things about yourself, your past, and all of your friends excitingly easy. It also makes it a cinch to find strangers who are openly racist, sexist, and generally embarrassing. This is fun!
Nothing that wasn’t public before Graph Search will be public after Graph Search, but that doesn’t change the fact that digging up inadvertently-shared info is effortless. This is bad news for probably millions and millions of people who are going to have trouble finding jobs once the new search goes public.

Like, there’s nothing at all wrong with this per se, but it’s not really something they probably want to broadcast to the world.
Maybe this is supposed to be a joke? Most actual rapists don’t advertise, but it sure ain’t funny.
That’s racist.
That’s unsettling.
That’s gross, buddy.
Going to the KKK HQ—you better believe that’s racist.
I’m pretty sure this is sexist.
And the best/worst part is, Facebook search autocompletes this stuff. I didn’t even have to think up any of it on my own.
The moral here? Go into your profile and see what you’re sharing. If it’s something like “rape” or “shitting my pants,” consider unliking it, or at least hiding it from the public. You’ve all been warned.
Poor Sam. It seems like only yesterday he was saying this was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Now he has discovered the main problem with Facebook Search is that it’s Facebook Search ie something that lets you search for all the stupid, racist, sexist or just plain vacuous shit that other people post on Facebook and allows other people to search for all the stupid, racist, sexist or just plain vacuous shit that you post too.
Ho.Lee.Crap. I wonder if people in 1,000 years time will look back at this stage of human civilisation and wonder what the hell happened.
between 998 and 1001 years from now the people of earth will be too busy dealing with the Giant Space Goat threatening to eat the planet to worry about what happened on some long forgotten website from the birth of the internet. However the definitive work will be published by historians in 3021.
I do this every time I read the Daily Mail/Star/Sun.
Or when I catch a glimpse of any TV programme on a channel that ends with a number higher than ’1′.
What the hell happened is that we’ve passed the level of maximum intelligence for the human race.
It’s only in the last 50 years or so that people who were / are too stupid to survive and breed have been ‘supported’ by society which means they survive and breed for longer, generally reducing the intelligence gene pool.
It used to be survival of the fittest, not anymore.
Genetics and intelligence doesn’t have a very good correlation though. I know some stupid parents with ridiculously smart kids, and vice versa.
There is actually a very high correlation although there are always statistical anomalies with stupid offspring from smart parents and vice versa.
There aren’t enough palms and faces to cover this!
I think your image headings have gone out of sync with the images.
Yeh; I’m just fixin’ ‘em now. Thanks!
The girls that like to suck also look like they do a pretty good job too.
I also suspect the potential rapists are just Rap fans who cant spell.
Quite likely, in which case they deserve all the derision they receive!
Agreed.
Author clearly has never heard of fraping (nor any of the commenters, it seems)
What is the relevance of this statement?
Well, he’s implying that all these people are horrible for liking these pages, when in reality none of them will have liked them themselves. It’s common knowledge nowadays that liked pages mean absolutely nothing.
Liked pages have never meant anything. Also the question of whether the people involved liked the pages themselves is irrelevant, this is the information that will be presented to anyone doing such a search, if they care about how they appear online they need to keep tighter control of their information.
I agree, I was just pointing out that when the article says the new search “makes it a cinch to find strangers who are openly racist, sexist, and generally embarrassing”, this is not correct.
There was also that phase a while back when you’d ‘like’ random pages for timeline comedy.
I’m sure all of the chaps into raping are actually into rapping but can’t spell and or read.
Well atleast they can no longer hide their bigotry. It also means pratical jokes on friends could have a lot worse repercussions if they don’t catch what you did.
