â#Syria has been accused of torturing activists to force them to  
reveal their passwords to #Facebook websites that have sustained the  
uprising against President Bashar al-Assad. â

this is a fwd from a similar social network as facebook, "seen this" http://seenthis.net/ 
 but build by the people of the blog system SPIP, some of you may
