A rather disquieting piece on Facebook Likes you don’t remember giving – and people apparently [Liking things from beyond the grave](http://readwrite.com/2012/12/11/why-are-dead-people-liking-stuff-on-facebook?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> Thing is, according to my pal Brendan O’Malley, there’s no way that his late friend Alex, who “hated corporate bullshit,” would have “liked” Discover.
> 
> And what about all these other “likes” from living people, the ones where someone is credited with “liking” something and they swear they didn’t do it?
> 
> The Facebook spokesman says it’s possible those people “liked” something by accident, by inadvertently pressing a button, perhaps on the mobile app. In response to the specific example of Nicolala liking Walmart, Facebook insists it really did happen: “We show that the Like happened on 10/01 at 6:46 p.m.,” the spokesman says.
