Facebook tests 'break-up' tools Image copyright IStock Breaking up is hard to do - especially on Facebook. There's no feeling quite like the tightening of the stomach you get when you accidentally stumble across an old post involving you and a former loved one in happier times. It's even more brutal when you notice that person's surname has since changed.
