Divorce, Facebook style

The British Daily Mail blames Facebook for some American divorces.

 "The marriage killer" shrieks the headline, then the article begins on a coy note:

It used to be the tell-tale lipstick on the collar. Then there were the give-away texts that spelled the death knell for many marriages.But now one in five divorces involve the social networking site Facebook, according to a new survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

Are Brit papers building a case?  The Telegraph ran a similar story a few months back.

Such stories could have the effect of smartening up marital infidels, though one wonders how much reflection goes into such postings on FB.

So we could see a kind of Darwinian process, selecting out for clever sneaks?

Nature is fair, but society is not.
