In yet one more bid to ensure that Facebook users never leave Facebook’s site (and, of course, if they do, Facebook will be following them), Facebook has announced the launch of their Facebook Movies service. The Facebook movie service, which is a movie rental service, allows users to trade Facebook credits to rent and stream a movie for up to 48 hours. First up: the Batman movie, The Dark Knight. That said, the Facebook movie rental service isn’t actually being offered by Facebook itself, so much as being permitted by Facebook, for a cut of the action.

A new phishing scam going around sends you email claiming that you have deactivated your Facebook account. Don’t fall for it. The links in it don’t really go to Facebook at all, although they look as though they do. They actually go to https://www.theinternetpatrol.com/brick-wall/, https://www.theinternetpatrol.com/brick-wall/, and https://www.theinternetpatrol.com/brick-wall/.
