Facebook has confirmed that a bug in their system led to "recurrent auto-posting" on Dr Vivian Balakrishnan's Facebook page., causing a post to go up on Cooling-Off Day, when candidates are not allowed to campaign offline, or online.

In an email to the media on Friday (Sep 11) a spokesperson for Facebook said, "A bug in our technical system led to recurrent auto-posting on Dr Vivian Balakrishnan's Facebook Page. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused."

The auto posting feature nearly got this guy into deep ****.

To quote Derek da Cunha.

If I am earning millions of dollars, courtesy of the taxpayer, I would have the basic common-sense that if something has, over a number of days, already manifested itself as a technical glitch I should immediately deactivate it so as to avoid any unintended problems from cropping up during a crucial period, thereby closing-off any room for misunderstanding and controversy.
It is the same common-sense I demonstrated when I spoke at an IQ Live Campaign Review webcast and I brought a COPY of my Poll Card to illustrate a point. I mentioned to the audience that it was a COPY, and not my actual Poll Card, so that ELD need not worry about me because "I am always cautious". Note: that I even took the trouble of printing the word COPY on the COPY of the Poll Card I showed.
And I am not earning millions.
