The Scourge Of Modern Technology


Security Setting and Privacy Concern



Facebook is not something I like to go near. I shall swear by my Lord Bhudda  big opening palm that it is nothing like a proper social relationship they are promoting . Lately I have this  awful personal  experience with deleting my account from Facebook.Yet that new account was barely two weeks old which only say so much for this sordid affair. .Really  It was initially  at the behest of an invitation from my sister in England  that I decided to join in .We started off purely as a private family affair relationship harmless enough like swapping photos and catching up news with each other. This is all rather unsuspecting and nothing seems to be untoward. Everything seem to be moving smoothly and you just had the feeling that you are using the account  the same way   no more than what you would use on Yahoo or Hotmail freebie.But that is where the comparison ends.I nominated six persons as friends but not in the Facebook’s sense.They are  my relatives old and young all spread around the world.I decided to set restricted access to only the six in the family like as if it is a private club by using the ‘’Friends Only’’  button. I think there were only three control buttons namely Everyone, Friends of Friends or Friends Only. Somehow or rather filth material started coming through from the third party. That was unaccounted for and that was an unauthorised access...
