The Perils of Facebook Politicking

A Swedish politician's Facebook entry accidentally and inaccurately outs him:

Bildt seems to have had difficulties setting up his account,
particularly the part that specifies sexual orientation - his daughter
has posted a message on his page asking: "Are you aware you have said
you're interested in men?". By the time The Local saw the page, the
error had been corrected.

Always good for parents to have child supervision when using the computer.
