Facebook cop: Safeenabanu
Facebook has become a very openbook site. User usually expose a lot of imformation for all to see. These include personal information, for
example, birthdate and self-interest. Exposing these information increase
the potential of online crime.
Many online crimes are taking place without the users knowing. One
recent case is a murder of a female Australian Nona Belomesoff,18. She was
lured to an isolated bushland area by a man through Fcaebook. The man
was believe to have preyed on her by using the interests openly listed on
her Facebook page.
In regard to this incident, I think that we need to have a dedicated officer
"patrolling" this giant social site. This is to prevent or at least minimize
criminal activites from taking place. As a saying goes, prevention is better
than cure. It is true that Facebook does holds many advantages and has
affect many lifes in a positive way. However, to avoid unecessary attention
,we have to play our part by being vigilant. Try not to expose too many
personal information to stalkers and hackers.
