The establishment of a Facebook ‘friendship’ does not objectively signal the existence of the affection and esteem involved in a traditional ‘friendship’.
On the one hand, this makes perfect sense.
On the other, I wish they’d ruled the other way, just to see people who aren’t actually friends unfriend each other on facebook so the label becomes more accurate.
