That’s all Facebook is for anyway.

That is why I always give facebook subtly incorrect data about myself. Another bonus is that those adverts are all based on your stated location. Did you know there is a Mexican restaurant in down town Bishkek?

Seems like someone with a room temp IQ has been watching too much ‘Gossip Girl’ on TV.

Theres another one called Canberra Goss. Seems to be a place for people to write nasty things about others.

After saying they’d be contacted by police, and forced to reveal their identity (doubt police would do that?) and apologise, they shut down the Canberra Goss (though I don’t buy that they gave the real name of who made it). There has been copycats, this ” ‘Berra Goss Queen”, and “Canberra Nuisance”
I don’t think it’s acceptable, what these pages do, but are we powerless to it legally, until something ‘very bad’ gets said?

Theres another one called Canberra Goss. Seems to be a place for people to write nasty things about others. I had a look a few nights ago after seeing some people whinging about it and its quite horrible stuff. They have been posting peoples mobile numbers as well which i find concerning.

My age and lifestyle means i know none of these people but i imagine if i was a lot younger and some of that was written about me i would be quite upset even if it was all bulls***.

Is BGQ really a heterosexual man living in London?

haha.
Some of the stuff on this is hilarious- unless you’re the person it’s about.

Some people do have too much time on their hands. Apparently my daughter is one of them, well as a friend to it.

Nice sugar lips though.

is this the modern equilivant of writing on the toilet wall? or does that still happen too?

They’re all apparently having a nice big joke – no-one so far seems to be taking any ‘defamation’ seriously… I suppose it’s all fun and games until something real gets posted and the authorities get involved.
