Facebook kills Suicide Machine
Do you ever feel as though the Internet has affected your life in a negative way? Are those peskily addictive social networks preventing you from forging real friendships and relationships? Then why not end it all, now. Not your life, of course, but your social media addiction. Suicide Machine is there to help, except Facebook is attempting to kill it off.
Suicide Machine is an app which purports to take the burden of deleting social network memberships from the addicted user. Rather than having to bother with the rigmarole of deleting accounts, users can now set an app running and then sit back and watch while their friends disappear and their account is deemed inactive and off-limits forever.
Suicide Machine was compatible with Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and LinkedIn. But after 500 Facebook users signed out of their accounts for good, the social network has stepped in to prevent any further acts of harakiri. Suicide Machine is now blocked from the Facebook servers, at least until the site figures out a workaround.
Is Facebook being oversensitive here? Should it really matter how someone chooses to leave the social networking scene?
