12. Crime rate in our country is increasing every year. One of
the main crime is “cyber crime”. Facebook plays an
important role in the cyber crime for past five years.
Official reports in UK have derived upon an astonishing
inference that crimes linked to social networking site.
Facebook have reached more than 100,000 mark across
Britain in the last five years. This is nearly a 500% increase
in crime related to online activities in the last three years in
UK.
13. Police revealed they have investigated offences ranging
from terrorism and gun crime to murders and rapes.
Pedophiles have been caught grooming for youngsters
and others simply abused the website to stalk women
and young girls. Other offences have included
fraud, hate crimes, malicious messages, suicides and
threats of violence between neighbours.
In the first months after Facebook was launched in
2005, a few hundred incidents were initially traced
back to the site. But currently the rate of crimes has
increased manifold, primarily due to reckless sharing
of private and confidential details openly on
networking sites.
14. While Facebook has had a record increase in number of
new users logging on to its site in the last year, the rate of
crimes that operate using information posted on this
networking portal has equally increased. Offenders use
fake identities and befriend victims scandalously in order
to abuse their trust, bully, harass and use their private
information for various ill doings.
Since January, police in 16 sectors received 7545 complaints
due up. Complaints via telephone told police about the
alleged acts of terrorism, sudden death, pet loss and use of
firearms violations.
Cyber Bullying is currently the top most criminal activity at
work across nations and due to lack of digital policing
norms, it has become difficult to curb and stop the malice.
15. A Facebook spokesperson, in defense, said, “While
there is a correlation between Facebook’s growing size
and the number of calls, there is no evidence to
suggest that the use of Facebook was the cause or
carrier of a criminal act in any of the phone calls
referenced”.
With over 500 million users on Facebook alone, the
call of the day is to assume caution while sharing
information, as few accounts may just be fraudulent
and harmful.

relatives
Because of the popularity of the Facebook website, a lot of
people are registering and becoming users of the
application. Because of this, the website has become a
common ground for people which results to finding your
old friends, relatives and family members. This makes it
easier for you to interact with them, and coordinate with
them.

will be able to post almost anything on your wall. The wall
of a particular user is a common ground for all your friends
and yourself.

26. The internet provides advertising opportunities for both
small businesses and large companies. Many people today
use the internet to find business solutions, as well as social
networking. This article aims at highlighting the main
advantages of advertising through networking websites like
Facebook if you are considering this effective advertising
option.
1. Targeted advertising
The main reason why Facebook has become a popular
advertising option is that it enables you to reach out to the
target audience. The website has a large catalogue of
personal information such as gender, dislikes, like, address,
gender, employment information and marital status,
among others. This gives Facebook better leverage in
regards to enhancing targeted advertising.
27. 2. Local marketing
By creating targeted ads and business pages, local
businesses now have the opportunity to reach out to
targeted audience of specific personal profiles and
geographical location. In addition to that, you can use the
event invitations feature to advertise latest discounts
offered by your company.
3. Wider customer outreach
Since Facebook users are increasing by the day, advertising
has become fruitful as it lets you broaden your horizons.
Facebook certainly provides endless possibilities into vast
geographical locations, so a wider outreach is the main
advantage. Considering the ever growing number of users
each day, you should give it a try.
28. 4. Inexpensive
The benefits of advertising through social media are
overwhelming. If you are just starting out in business,
advertising through Facebook is cheaper as compared to
other advertising options. Moreover, you can decide to put
up adverts according to the stipulated daily advertising
rates.
5. Multiple ad views
Adverts have a better luck of having an impact or getting
noticed when seen several times. Since most Facebook
users visit their pages regularly, your ads will stick into their
mind.
Most folks use Facebook and other social sites to chat with
their friends and rarely think about buying a product.

30. Malaysian police has been told to use popular social networking
site Facebook to solve crimes.
It has been suggested that the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) use
Facebook, a social networking site, as an alternative approach to
solve criminal cases.
National Key Result Areas (NKRA) for crime prevention
laboratory leader Abdul Aziz Md Noor said the website which is
widely used by the community could help the authorities fight
crime.
We previously used the short-message service (SMS) through the
Rakan Cop programme (to fight crime), but with this new
approach we hope to solve cases faster.
31. For example, by displaying photos of suspects on Facebook,
the public could indirectly channel information regarding
the case to the police, he said after presenting the results of
the NKRA for crime prevention laboratories at the
Government Tranformation Programme (GTP) Open Day
held at the Sunway Convention Centre.
Besides helping the police, he said the social networking
site would also help foster a closer relationship between the
PDRM and the people.Abdul Aziz said the public could
also file reports and complaints on crime to police through
the website.It is difficult for the police to control crime
without the help and support of the community.If the
public helps to report all criminal activities to the police,
we believe the target to reduce crime by 20 per cent by the
end of 2010 is possible, he said.
32. At the same presentation, members of the public were
urged to register as Rakan Cop members to facilitate police
obtaining information quickly.They no longer need to go to
the police station or see a police officer to give information,
this can be done through SMS now, said Abdul Aziz.
33. Facebook is a social networking website that allows people all over the
world to interact and connect with each other. However, due to some
privacy concerns and other issues, it is very beneficial to delete your
Facebook account. Even though Facebook is the most popular social
website, there are other options that you can also use if you want to
continue using social networking sites. Below are major benefits of
deleting Facebook.
1. Saves time
You might argue and say that you also waste time in various other ways
other than using Facebook. Nevertheless, many researches show that
people spend lots of time on Facebook, which affects their productivity
in other parts of their lives. Through joining Facebook, you basically
create an activity that you would not opt for as the best usage of your
time.
Furthermore, you have to maintain your Facebook account regularly,
which is not always worth it. By deleting Facebook, you eliminate the
need of maintaining your account.
34. 2. Better relationships
Facebook affects real relationships as it encourages online
interaction as opposed to face to face meetings. When it is
much healthier to communicate to real people either by
phone or in person, Facebook would have people sit ahead
of their computers and interact. The act of deleting
Facebook makes certain that you develop only your online
persona. Most users who have deleted their Facebook
accounts now have better relationships with their friends
and family.
35. 3. Increases privacy
Facebook encourages users to share more information with
their friends, which may not always be beneficial.
Furthermore, if your Facebook account is hacked, vital
information can be stolen.
To protect your privacy, it is much better to delete your
account. That way you will never require worrying about
information loss.
The downside linked to deleting Facebook is that you will
lose the option of easily communicating with your friends.

facebook/
36. 1 Don’t Have To Worry About Privacy
The first benefit is that you won’t have to worry about
privacy concerns. Many people aren’t aware of some of the
strange terms of service changes that Facebook has made
in the last year or so. Some of these have been changed
back because users didn’t like them, but your photos and
personal information could potentially be compromised
using this system.
37. 2 Facebook is a Waste of Time
Many get sucked into Facebook and it ends up being a
waste of time. Without having an account, you don’t
have to worry about this becoming a problem at all and
literally can save hell of time to spend with your family
and friends.
3 Control Over Types of Conversation
Without Facebook you can have control over the types
of conversations that you want to have with people.
Some people just don’t like talking through a
computer. You might not be able to type well or might
enjoy the phone or talking in person much better.
38. 4 Avoid Higher Risk of Effecting Your Computer From
Malware and Scams
Some people click links in Facebook that lead to malware
problems or scams. Without using an account, you won’t
have to worry about getting these types of problems
through that site. Well you can get malwares and trojans by
visiting some sites and through emails but the risk is much
higher when you use facebook and other social networking
sites.
5 Reliable Communication
Communication on Facebook is not as reliable as you
would like. Some people are on it every day meaning you
will reach them but some don’t sign on too often. Using
your phone to call or text is a bit more reliable.
39. 6 Can Keep Things to Yourself
Without having a Facebook account, you can keep more
things to yourself. You might not want others to know
everything about your life all the time.
40. Many celebrities not only in foreign countries but also
in Malaysia, very active in ‘Facebook’.
Some of them chat with their fans directly, while
others just read the comments made by their fans
about their new song or movie.
Almost all celebrities have their own Facebook profile.

they upload their new videos or songs in their
Facebook before it reach the market.
