"Where is the outrage?" you ask? It's no where because there's no where to heard. My wife has a fairly common name. Suddenly, people were posting on her Facebook page. She tried to complain to Facebook and they denied it could happen. Then she found someone on Facebook with the same name. After contacting her, she said she was getting people posting on her page, too. And again, Facebook denied it could happen.
Basically, there's no outrage because the social networking providers are in denial. An independent social networking referee is needed. When users are warned away, the membership will stop growing, begin to shrink, and only then with the providers begin to get serious about security.
