She has commented that people are putting up fake profiles and using her image against her will online.Whoopi, age 53, told contactmusic.com that she feels "powerless over the countless pages attributed to her on websites like Facebook.com."She tells contactmusic.com, "There's a Facebook page of mine, I never put it up. I don't like these social sites for this reason, because you don't know what they're going to do with it (your information) and I have no recourse to get it taken down. I have no idea who put it up (but) there (are) pictures of me on there.""The Facebook people said they would never use your image in a way you didn't want to because they said, 'The trust you place in us as a safe place to share information is what makes Facebook work'. Well, if that is the case then just get rid of the law if you really feel that way, then toss it out."
