Be careful while posting on facebook

Social media like facebook became very much popular among the students. Students daily spend lots of time on internet using social media. According to a report 500 million people visit the facebook daily and monthly more than 700 million minutes were spent on the facebook. People use facebook for sharing their photos, video and many other things. Many writers, columnist, artists, actors and other famous personalities also use facebook and other social media for interacting with people and to inform people with their fans. Facebook fan pages also a very effective tool to know the popularity of a public figure with the public response, as famous Pakistani TV anchor person Javed Chaudhry has more than one lac fans and his popularity increasing day by day with more likes daily.



Pakistani students use facebook very curiously and share music, funny video, some sort of important news, photos, their recent activities etc. Many Pakistani students mostly their time while using the facebook, we know its very useful to create a social circle on an international social media. But you know what our students mostly do there. They explore the profile of different girls and watching their pictures and some also download that picture for further use, chatting on facebook is also very much common among students.




Students you should always remember one thing while making friend on facebook or on any other social media that do you know whom you are going to add in your friend list personally. You know! There are lots of fake accounts on facebook and you can't be sure that your friend is male or female. So you should be careful while responding to any friend request by anonymous.

Other important think, mostly students share their pictures and video which would be harmful for them in future and may disturb your privacy. In this matter girls should be more careful than boys, because there are lots of thugs who would be in their friend list or friend of your friends. They can easily get your pictures, videos and other information then misuse it. Mostly these people download the pictures of girls from any profile and then make a fake profile of girl and upload those pictures there. Girls be careful bad boys can also use their pictures for any other purpose, you know they can edit pictures on Adobe Photoshop or any other software and can temper these photos. There are lots of cases came in observations when boys used the photos of girls and make their nude pictures or attach themselves in the picture to show their friends that she is his girlfriend. You can see lots of fake profiles on facebook of girls with thousands of friends and having lots of pictures of girls in their photo collection.



So girls you should be careful regarding sharing any thing on facebook and don't make friends whom you don't know. All the students should set the privacy setting according to their own requirement. Privacy setting is very much important but don't think save after this because your privacy is not there are lots of loopholes in the privacy matters on facebook and other social media.
