‘The Social Network’ screenwriter Aaron Sorkin deletes his Facebook profile

He may have penned the Oscar winning script for 'The Social Network,' but screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is far from a fan of Facebook.

In fact, he doesn't even have a profile.

"I have a lot of opinions on social media that make me sound like a grumpy old man sitting on the porch yelling at kids," said Sorkin in an All Facebook story.

The keynote speaker at the Cannes Lions International Festival revealed he had only joined to do his research, adding that a common Facebook feature urged him to delete his profile.

"I was sent a message from Facebook suggesting people I should befriend," he explained in the story. "One of them was a girl my sister was friends with in high school. I don't know how they found her, no idea. I signed off right then."

Oddly enough, Director David Fincher echoes Sorkin's sentiment, proving that disdain towards Facebook is rather prevalent among the creators of "The Social Network."

"I have a healthy disdain for the hypocrisy of the notion of this interconnected world, but I don't think that makes me some old f*** with an ax to grind."

The news potentially strips the film of some credibility as many had come to believe "The Social Network" was a factual account of the history of Facebook.

Employees of the social networking giant were quick to label the film as "just wrong", and though Sorkin's research may have included a temporary profile, it failed to include testimony from creator Mark Zuckerberg himself.

"We would have cooperated with them if they could have made a movie that was the real story," said Zuckerberg in a Word Impressed story.
