an increasingly common condition already afflicting hundreds of thousands worldwide, facebook tourette’s renders its victims incapable of discerning the appropriateness of public posts on facebook. victims feel compelled to post every detail of the minutia of their lives on the social networking site for everyone to read. in addition, they feel as though they are required to respond to the posts of others, no matter how mundane their responses may be.
if left untreated, facebook tourette’s can eventually morph into a full-blown version, whereby its victims feel obliged to share private details about their lives, leading to a host of potentially mortifying revelations shared freely with the entire world.
