PAKISTAN: Bilawal Bhutto's Facebook Profile

[ See SAJAforum collection of coverage, sources, resources about the Bhutto assassination ]

UPDATE, Jan. 3, 12:01 pm: Now a new controversy surrounds this Facebook issue after one of Bilawal's roommates said that one of the profiles that has been circulated was not set up by Bilawal.

BBC reports that Facebook has taken down two bogus profiles of Bilawal Bhutto.

TimesOnline writes: Bogus facebook entry is "smear on son by regime."

Some of the stories on major news organizations like London's Telegraph and Australia's ABC, that the NY Times blog linked to, have disappeared.

Here is a post by Tonay on Consolecity that says "On facebook, I am Bilawal, the man' Bhutto! I made an account pretending to be him.

Original posting, Jan. 3, 12:28 am...

You never know where your Facebook.com profile will pop up one day, especially when you have the screengrab function on a mac [that's Ctrl+Shift+4]. Radar did not waste any time and put a screenshot of Bilawal Bhutto's Facebook profile on the Internet.

From Radar:

"Unfortunately, Bilawal's FB profile (larger image after the jump) doesn't provide the drunken wall messages and beer-pong pics we crave, but it does offer some insight into the man who just might become the first ever world leader with a Buffy obsession. Not only does he list the vampire slaying classic as one of his favorite TV shows, but in a recent note thanking friends for their support, he writes, "I do the things that students do like make mistakes, eat junk food, watch Buffy, but most importantly of all ... learn."

But the Daily Mail in London did find this picture of Bilawal that was taken "weeks ago at a fancy dress party" and "shows the carefree life he enjoyed till his mother Benazir's murder last Thursday."

From thisislondon.com:
"Suddenly the 19-year-old undergraduate was thrust into the international spotlight and shouldered with the burden of heading Pakistan's greatest political dynasty.

The picture was taken only a few weeks earlier, when Bilawal lived in ordinary student accommodation in Christ Church College with no obvious security.

He used the surname Lawalib - his first name spelt backwards - presumably to avoid the attention his real name might have brought on campus."

Of course, there is nothing wrong with a 19-year-old kid dressing up for fancy parties or saying he is "interested in women" (see on Facebook profile). But now that he is a political figure and the world is watching him, he might want to adjust his privacy settings. In fact, he already has.

Dear Mr. Kaphle,
What so big deal about it! He happens to be a noted public personality and a prospective prime ministerial candidate.
Perhaps, he should be little more careful.
If Prez.Obama can nolonger use his blackberry,then this youngster should also not allow an open access to his private life!
yours,
ashish dimri

ummm....we should blindly let him lead us because he is the best!

anyways,ask my heart,it says I LOVE YOU BILAWAL!
