Man, I happened to nice that their implied link to "Facebook says 'warrent'" links to Twitter, and not Facebook.
I went to e-mail them, but found no point of contact. I didn't look too hard tho, because I've been exasperated by such futility many times.
Maybe Mikey here or someone can do a story about how it is not in a ... "community" website's best intrest to make it difficult to provide feed back.
