Why Facebook is so often the news and because it generates so much passion, after all, is not simply a website?
I suppose the obvious answer to this question is negative, is not just a website. "It 'a place for home, expression of sound, space access and the opportunity to share. As a result, supporters of Facebook in order to protect the right to use, to defend passionately as any in the heavily fortified the castle. Yet as Valor, and others (home of the Castles) tries to dismantle it, or at least to impose restrictions on its use. I understand the analogy may seem unusual castle Facebook to philosophy of open communication. However, I use here to demonstrate just how slanted walls have created a great chasm, who know the use of Facebook, who think they know how to use Facebook and those who do not know how to use Facebook.
It was suggested that Facebook (and other forms of social media) may be useful in emergencies and disasters, as it offers the opportunity to "real time" updates that are not constrained by regulation of traditional media. But even as I write I can hear the collective cry of those who suggest that social media can have devastating consequences in these situations, especially when the "inexperienced amateur" or "rubber necking" glory seekers provide false or misleading. Of course, the danger of being exposed to the tragic circumstances involving members of the family before "official notification" is given. Worse, are the tyrants who use Facebook as a means of torture and worse again, no heart (anonymous) people who deface a tribute pages.
These claims are often raised (especially by parents, politicians and school administrators who do not use or understand Facebook), as evidence that the use of Facebook was restricted or even banned. But this case does not blame the tool when you really have is a tool in their hands? Ultimately, a simple fork (designed to eat container) can become a toy in hand with the child's sandbox, or the attacker's weapon hand.
In this spirit, I offer two suggestions, one for parents, politicians and school administrators, and other equipment that runs Facebook.
For parents, politicians and school administrators, I reiterate the need for education. Instead of banning Facebook in schools, teaching how to use it actively. We must teach the responsible use of Facebook in the same way we teach to the creation and evaluation of media and advertising. Students should be encouraged to be critical of players and composers in the field of social media so they can develop a digital profile manager. It is vital that young people fully appreciate the consequences of their actions digital. We must recognize how their Facebook chat can be seen by future employers, friends and family. To facilitate this, teachers, administrators and parents must also learn to use Facebook responsibly in both social contexts and, more specifically in an educational sense. As the "walls" surrounding the eyes of Facebook "naive", "digital immigrants" are demolished, perhaps the fear and uncertainty dissipated.
Without limiting the feelings, the positive uses of social media thrive. Facebook can even create a greater sense of community.
Still, the directors of Facebook should also recognize their responsibilities. Although freedom of expression is to be commended, prejudice, cruelty and defamation should not be allowed. That's why I would like to see the developers of Facebook to add a "comment moderation" option to your privacy settings (in particular, Tribute Pages). This page provide administrators the ability to "approve" comments before they are made "public" (in much the same way as comments on WordPress blogs can be approved before being published). Perhaps because of their audiences shrink significantly, this would prevent the "bullies" and "vandals".
