Brandee Barker, a Facebook spokewoman, said in a statement that the company's privacy policy and terms of use allow it to share information with law enforcement and other government agencies "when it has a good faith belief it is legally obligated to do so." But with regard to the fake profile of the prince, "Facebook has shared no such information with the Moroccan authorities," she said.
So the folks at Facebook adamantly deny involvement in Fouad Mourtada's arrest, but are they telling the truth? Their contradicting statements suggest otherwise.
"Facebook disabled the fake profile after the company determined that the user violated Facebook's terms of use by misrepresenting his identity," Ms. Barker said in the statement.
Dear Facebook, what you're saying doesn't make sense. For and average person like me, who's IT knowledge is very limited, it leaves only one other option:
The Moroccan authorities hacked into your database to obtain information about Fouad Mourtada.
Is this really what you want us to believe?
Well, I personally find that hard to believe.
