The Good, The Bad & The Impossible To Solve
Personally, although I don’t use Facebook for hours on end every day, I do think that it is nothing less than a phenomenon: a social network that connects the world, allowing everyone to contact everyone – that’s something with an unlimited amount of powers, and an infinite number of possibilities for every single person with a computer on this planet. Regardless of what you want to find, a close friend, Locum GP Jobs in your area or someone you haven’t seen for years, Facebook can no doubt make it happen, fast. Even better it’s completely free to sign up.
Except there’s a problem, of course: Facebook has now become so vast that policing it with any real vigour has become next to impossible. This presents a number of new problems, one of them being internet stalking and people pretending to be someone they are not.
This actually quite serious thing – sometimes tantamount to a crime – is explored in the recent film Catfish; a film which serves as a documentary to what can happen when you have very little idea of who you are actually communicating with.
And be under no illusion, controlling Facebook is already a massive undertaking and something with the company have many staff doing; the problem isn’t that their staff are incompetent. It’s more that the machine has got wildly out of hand. Quite simply, trying to keep an eye on every single piece of information floating around out there is as hard as it would be to find torn-up paper in a desert. Finding and removing this unwanted information is even more tricky when you take into account that it exists not on one or two computers, but thousands of private servers and personal computers all over the world.
