Well, Mauritians living in Mauritius are the most likely to know that it was fake profile. On the other hand, people outside Mauritius are the ones they should have been more concerned about. Most people in USA and Canada, for example, don't know Mauritius well enough or not at all to know if the profile was fake or not.

I just found this! There are a couple of workarounds for this - when Facebook went offline, I just used my US proxy server and VOILA! - Facebook was back. I'm seeing a potential business model in proxy servers if this childish behaviour continues. Ha! I just found this!
