Privacy of Facebook

A situation has occurred this week, where a lawyer I know had a list of questions posted on his Facebook site by his brother. One of the questions, asked in fun by the brother, was taken to be a possible serious breach of trust by the law firm where he worked. He was questioned by the firm on whether the allegations posed in the questions were true and if not, why they were published. The brother has since taken down the offending questions, but the damage from asking such moral questions remains.

On investigating my own Facebook page, I found similar moral questions asked about my character by one of my brothers. The person posing the questions is rewarded by the site with fifty coins for every question I answer. It appears to be some competition set up by the site. I ask the question; are these questions suggested by the site or are these spiteful questions a part of my brother I was unaware he thought?
