It's a pretty common media error, and a stupid one given how many people use Facebook. Replace "sites" with "profiles" or "pages" and it's fine. Newspapers face a challenge in attracting younger readers, and I don't think this kind of approach does 'em any favours!</p> The specific phrase that got me going was actually “take down their Facebook websites” — there’s only one Facebook site, which has lots of pages.
