The world of internet has been creating a strong impact in the lives of many people and especially the technology crazy Indians have latched onto it big time. However, just like any other manmade invention, even this powerful tool has got a dark side which is causing major trouble.
We are talking about the world of hackers within internet. Apparently, the hackers are busy attacking some famous websites and making their presence felt. With social networking becoming a major thing, the hackers have now targeted the Facebook website and are creating chaos.
Many reports are arriving that they are hacking the account and uploading sexual videos and pictures. Usually, they are choosing the profiles of married ladies and doing this. As such, the users can’t see these videos or pictures but their friends and those in the list can see. Since the housewives and other ladies are not getting alerted, it is giving wrong signals to friends and other circles. Many are urging the Facebook company to deal with this issue as soon as possible.

India is one country which truly runs on the concept of ‘Ram Bharose’ (leaving it to god to take care of us). The reason I say this due to the botched up political system and the mess that those in power create in the name of democracy and righteousness. And for a strange reason, the greed to be part of publicity and limelight is so high among few people that they will not hesitate to set themselves on fire just for few seconds of attention.
The reason for all this rush of thoughts is the latest fizz on censoring Facebook and Twitter. The union minister Kapil Sibal is known for his dogged determination to get what he wants and his recent talks with these two companies is indeed a mockery. If Mr Sibal is trying to streamline content or clean the system, then putting censoring on FB, Twitter is not enough. He should then consider censoring the over enthusiastic and selfish electronic media.
For the kind of trash they show in the name of reality shows and Breaking News and the negative impact they are causing on the people, censoring should begin from there. On the other hand, how is it possible to censor the world wide web? Today, everybody is a media and everyone is reporting and expressing their thoughts and philosophy. In this free economy, anybody can start a blog and write about anything under the sun with anonymous identities.
Of course, extreme philosophy or hatred can incur reactions and there are times when websites or blogs are shutdown. But technically speaking, even the admin department can work on certain things by using keywords or tags to be barred but for every word there is an alternative. That way, I feel politically correct censoring can be done but moral censoring cannot be done. While I agree that Facebook and Twitter tend to have its own side-effects, trying to put a roadblock on freedom of expression is something bizarre. If that has to happen then it better be applied to the electronic media as well.

The virtual world of internet may have brought the world closer in terms of communication but it sure has isolated human beings from each other. Those who find solace in online circuit are losing out on real relations and values. However, it appears that the saturation point has been reached.
A recent survey has revealed that many are using sites like Facebook and Twitter only to connect with their old friends or family but have lost faith in the idea of finding a life partner. Apparently, the increasing number of fake profiles and online cheaters in Facebook and other sites has been the prime cause.
On the other hand, sources from the cyber crime department reveal that daily one or two cases are filed against password hacking of Facebook or morphed images being uploaded. The relationship experts say that youngsters have realized that social networking sites are no longer trustworthy or appealing for finding partners, they are put off by the cheating and fake profiles on these sites.
