Alleged profile manipulator Jordan Moncharmont apparently still has a job there. If he's been cleared by an internal investigation, fine, but tell us.

The Times inexplicably interviews a Facebook employee named Jordan Moncharmont (hey, that name sounds familiar) who points out the obvious: Google's sky-high stock price can be a detriment to hiring, since the strike price for option doled out to new hires can be ridiculously steep. Of course, Moncharmont's financial analysis seems to be as shallow as his reported respect for users' privacy rights: His employer, like Google, is expected to start issuing restricted stock instead of options.

I found in my inbox, not a reply from Moncharmont, but this:

The "Acknowledge" checkbox struck me as some kind of Chinese Communist Red Guards-style self-confessional, so I refused to check it off.

Here again is my request seeking comment. Perhaps the word "immediately" came across as too demanding? Next time, I'll be gentler in communicating my deadlines.

A journalist asking the subject of a story for comment? Facebook views that as harassment. But viewing users' profiles without permission and perhaps replacing profile pictures with lewd images? Why, for Facebookers, that's just part of the job.

Because she hadn't seen his friend in years until running into him in the street a week before the profile incident. Also, she claims the content of faked messages sent out under her name strongly suggested his complicity. Hardly a smoking gun. Still, Moncharmont is only 20, making the belated high-school drama scenario plausible. Facebook spokeswoman Brandee Barker says the company investigates reports of profile abuse.
