Few months back one morning I opened my Facebook page and saw that Anisul Haque, the Dhaka north city corporation mayor has expired. Immediately I turned on my TV news channel and found that he is under treatment in a London hospital and fighting with neurological problem(dizziness and lack of balance). I read the Facebook news on Saturday(25th November) but actually he breathed his last at Bangladesh time 10:30pm on 30th, Thursday night at Wellington Hospital.

What does it men from above true storey? Either Facebook can predict the future or giving fake information to the users!!
This is an example only, everyday we are getting such forged information from this social media. Not only misguiding information but also some crime activities like question paper leaking, suicide activities, fatal attraction, blackmailing are happening through this media.

Many of us say that what can Facebook do over these activities? People have their own responsibilities or gut feeling about bad and good. If people do not post fake or unwanted information then users will not be able to see that.
My question is, why Facebook can not control this? Or are they willing to do this? Is there any authorities from Facebook who will be policing the activities?
Here, the classic example is Steemit. If anyone in Steemit doing something illegal, people can flag or down vote. So users/bloggers are careful here before posting anything.
No doubt that, Facebook has make our world like a village with it’s connecting power. But unwanted activities should be monitored religiously from the authorities rather looking into only profit.
Thanks for reading.
