Protesters hijack more than 200 Facebook groups





Hundreds of Facebook groups have been hijacked in recent days by users pointing out what they say is a weakness in how the social-networking site handles the administration of its groups.




By Tuesday morning, 286 groups had apparently been renamed Control Your Info and had a new message posted to their walls.



"Hello, we hereby announce that we have officially hijacked your Facebook group," the message reads. "This means we control a certain part of the information about you on Facebook. If we wanted we could make you appear in a bad way which could damage your image severly [sic]."
