Tech site: Facebook cracking down on Boston bomb suspect's fan pages?

Is Facebook cracking down on fan pages for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the suspects in last week's gruesome Boston Marathon bombing? A report posted on The Daily Dot said some Facebook users are having difficulty looking up Tsarnaev on the social networking giant. "A Facebook search of the suspect's name did not yield any profiles, pages, or groups. By entering Facebook URLs that included the name 'Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,' we found a fan page with 43 likes that actively mocks the authorities for their inability to catch him," it said. It said that while it asked Facebook about the matter, Facebook representatives did not provide a "concrete answer." The Daily Dot quoted a spokesperson as explaining why a Facebook search did not produce any results: "(it) can take time to populate in Search if they're new." "Search does not function like a crawler. It only shows pages most relevant to you, which may explain why it's not showing up," it quoted the spokesperson as saying. However, The Daily Dot said a spokesperson "did confirm that several fake accounts and pages glorifying Tsarnaev had been removed." On the other hand, The Daily Dot said fan pages for Christopher Dorner and James Holmes began showing up in Facebook searches in the hours after their names were released. Dorner was a former Los Angeles police officer who went on a killing spree in February 2013, while James Holmes was the suspect behind the shooting at a premiere of a Batman movie. The Daily Dot said the earlier cases of Dorner and Holmes suggested that Facebook "has taken steps to hide pages and fake profiles in Tsarnaev's case." — LBG, GMA News
