While most people on hn probably know about this, you would be surprised at what the general public would think about this story. I hope it gets spread further in the media so more people know exactly what fb(and other social networking sites) keeps tabs on and what info they give out to law enforcement.
Do you think it will matter? That Farmville thing ain't gonna play itself.
Not surprised, but once in a while having something in your face brings it all home.
I've never had a Facebook account, but it surprises me that they store deleted posts.
I'm also surprised it didn't contain private messages (I'm guessing you can do this on FB?).
Yes, Facebook has a private message feature, recently merged with live chat.
