Apartment In US Asks Tenants To 'Like' Facebook Page Or Face Action (business-standard.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the do-it-or-face-the-consequences dept.

An anonymous reader writes from a report via Business Standard: An apartment building in Salt Lake City has told tenants living in the complex to "like" its Facebook page or they will be in breach of their lease. Tenants of the City Park Apartments said they found a "Facebook addendum" taped to their doors last weekend, asking them to "like" the City Park Apartments Facebook page. The contract says that if tenants do not specifically "friend" City Park Apartments on Facebook within five days, they will be found in breach of the rental agreement. In addition, the contract includes a release allowing the business to post pictures of tenants and their visitors on the Facebook page. Currently, the apartment building has a 1.1 star rating on its Facebook page.

    IIRC, that's a violation of Facebook's Terms of Service. Please report it to Facebook, and if enough people corroborate the report, the business in question won't have a page anymore.

      DRM rootkit, removal of "other OS" option from ps3 after some people had bought it specifically for that reason, don't really know of anything recent that compares to those two but then again i haven't been watching for anything, I pretty much auto ignore anything I see with Sony in the name now.
