CALIFORNIA: Police are investigating claims that a man has used the social networking site Facebook for legitimate networking, as opposed to obsessive stalking.Police allege the man used the website to make professional contacts and keep in touch with old friends.
A police spokesperson said the man had never even looked at all 673 photos of a person he was romantically interested in.
"We've never seen this sort of activity on Facebook before," the police spokesperson said.
There are also allegations that there were no drunk, lewd photos tagged on the man's profile.
The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, said in a statement that he was appalled at the breach of protocol.
"Facebook was designed for the sole purpose of stalking," said Zuckerberg.
"This sort of legitimate activity will not be tolerated."
Both Zuckerberg and the police are urging the public to use Facebook for its proper use: stalking, intimidation and revenge.
