VOTE: Should Candidates Make Facebook Cards?

Singaporean political candidate Lim Biow Chuan is distributing business cards with a mock Facebook layout asking people to like his profile. Will this help him get elected?


This picture on Singaporean political candidate Lim Biow Chuan’s Facebook profile speaks that proverbial 1,000 words. Some of his constituents have expressed concern about whether the social network has given permission for the business cards including the social network’s brand iconography.


We’ve asked Facebook whether the site has given Chuan permission to use the social network’s designs on the candidate’s card and will update this post with anything we learn.

Chuan’s card exaggerates the candidate’s like tally at 23,172, when in reality he has only 315 of them as of our writing this.
