Camfess, the Cambridge anonymous confessions page, has disappeared from Facebook as of this morning (28/6).

As noticed by one Cambridge student at 1am, when you try and search for Camfess on Facebook, the page no longer appears.

One regular commenter speculated: “Maybe everyone who ran it is graduating.”

Camfess: blessing or burden for student mental health?

Camfess is regularly the site of debates on Cambridge issues ranging from the ethics of tripos ranking to staff strikes. Recently, the page has featured anonymous praise and criticism of this year's May Balls.

Other university-wide anonymous confessions pages such as Crushbridge and Rowbridge are still on Facebook.

This is a breaking story. More updates to follow.
