Facebook is one of the
steadfast growing social network nationwide. This is a platform where every
user can make registration and create an account for free. Once the account is
created, the user can fill different information about him or herself and share
content (pictures, text, music, video etc)
with others either public, friends or friend of friends. Facebook is now
a social media globally known and it covers about 90% daily activities which
users are using more of their time to socialize with other people amidst the
distance and lack of time.
Obviously, a trade off is
happening between advantages and disadvantages of Facebook. Though, it
increases the connection and communication between friends, meet different
people across the continent; online community. It also aggrandizes the risk of
procrastination and makes it easier for others to stalk a user. The worst part
is that, some are actually punished for what they put on their profile and
would claim that it was put there only for fun.
On Facebook, harassment is
one of the major challenges that devalue or knock off some users. It is a form
of discrimination that absorbs any superfluous verbal or physical behavior that
would make a person feel humiliated, intimidated or feel offended. On the same
note, derogatory comments may be directed to an individual or a group in a chat
room which can be referred to as online harassment. This is a result of
overcrowded.
Humiliation on Facebook is
consort with public failure and a loss of dignity. Humiliation, in another way,
is not amusing but deep and atrocious. Humiliation is most damaging as it is
brought on by others' bad behavior.
Facebook seems disgusting
mostly as people misinterpret comments and many started abusing or criticizing
one's post. At times many people may abuse through one's post and feel
embarrassed. However, as Facebook is known globally as a source of getting news
updates, a situation of the economy, social updates, political updates,
business update and much more. Upon all these, most of the news is fake and
false just to call the attention of people. Recently, some photos posted on
Facebook to claim evidence of some injured government worker in the US which
when later investigated further was proved ingenuity. Prior to discovering the
photos are fake, it's a discredit to Facebook. Also, Internet fraud uses
Facebook as a powerful tool to carry out their unlawful activities. This gives
discredit to Facebook.
Facebook - with over 2
billion users has no rules and guidelines on how or what can post on the site.
Hence, global debate about the role and ethics of the social media giant needs
to be revealed. The research has never seen internal training manuals,
materials or flowchart that gives exceptional insight into the blueprints
Facebook has used to moderate issues such as violence, hate speech, terrorism,
pornography, and self-harm.
Facebook as a community
comprises of many different groups which have historically faced discrimination
in society. Among is a representative from the Muslim, the Jewish and other
communities which engage themselves in religious dialogue and battle through
this giant Facebook platform and resulted in threatening and disrespecting.
Different anxiety attack
cases have recorded on Facebook as a result of blind dating, online businesses
transaction and much more. The anxiety attack usually occurs suddenly and
without warning which leads to anxiety disorders.
Conclusively, Facebook is a
social platform which user can not deter from intimidation.
There are many risks attached
to facebook site which is one of the larger risks. Over one million children
were intimidated, threatened and subjected to other forms of cyberbullying on
Facebook during the past year.
