Hijacking Facebook

Kevin is on Facebook as well. At first, I updated his account regularly but now he's doing it mostly himself. His friends are mostly car guys and family but there are a few old friends from our previous lives. (including the ex-wife)

The problem being is someone on his Facebook has completely hijacked Facebook. Updates are flooded with comments, their updates are anything from inappropriate to melodramatic, photos etc are posted without asking permission. It's kind of difficult.

It's not to the "unfriend" level because they are actually a good friend, contrary to the evidence presented. But it's nearly to the level of having to say something.

I've already "hidden" all the quiz results, gifts, and games so that he can at least read other friends updates without harassment. Thankfully, other people can't necessarily tell that he's been hijacked by looking at his profile.

We keep hoping that perhaps once the shiney-newness wears off that it will calm down. But history has shown that the moment something happens, everyone is peppered with comments.

Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do?

You can change the settings where you don't see the person's updates or they don't see yours. Also, on any photo where you are tagged you can change it to where only certain people can see it v. being public. That's what I do. Sad, really.
