**People use Facebook to catch up with old friends and long lost family. (In this case Facebook is amazing) People also use Facebook and become friends with everyone who sends a friend request or find high school friends or ex-flames online.
Twenty percent of divorces involve Facebook and 80 percent of divorce lawyers have reported a spike in the number of cases that use social media for evidence, according to a survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
It’s so common that there’s a website dedicated to Facebook cheating.
FacebookCheating.com’s founder says he started the site after his now ex-wife had an affair with an old flame she re-ignited on Facebook.
**Not only that…I noticed how you’ve been sharing Video links with Farkhanda Bibi and Zulekha Begum and leaving messages every morning along with breakfast on Shabboo’s wall
And everytime that churail Rasheedaaaa posts MUST you LIKE her every wall message

***Here is a perfect example of FB infidelity and its consequences..............
Partyslims.........sudhar jao abhi bhi waqt hai :D
So this girl I know [seriously], called up last night and told me about a wicked situation she's in. She needed some advice:
She's been engaged to this nice guy for a couple of years. He lives abroad; she lives in India. They are to be married next March. Meanwhile, she stumbles upon this random guy via Facebook [attn. Sheyn!!!], who happens to live in the same city as her, and they end up having a "fling." Eventually, she realizes this isn't going anywhere and that it's not right, so she breaks up.
A few weeks later, she gets a call from this guy telling her that he didn't know she was engaged all this time while they were "dating" and now he's in the process of finding out her fiance's contact information so he can tell him about her fling with him.
Obviously she's upset and has tried to convince this guy not to do that. But he's disappeared!! So she needs advice on whether she should just tell her fiance herself and accept whatever consequences, or should she just cross her fingers and hope that he never finds out.
[She's aware that I'm posting this here although she doesn't visit GS.]
why the blames on facebook? the same story could be re-written by replacing Facebook with GupShup. Isn't it true?
I happen to be another forum before GS and even before the Facebook created and i came across the same stories on that forum as well. someone used to talk to some on forum, jokes on threads, arguments on threads and ended up "falling in love" ... (lets not discuss their love story).
I do admit the fact that facebook has opened lots of opportunities but at the same time, if someone has a nature liike that then he/she will end up in same consequences with or without facebook. Why blame on one particular thing?
P.S:
I am not someone who wants to Defend Facebook. I just don't like the idea when people start criticsing random things just for hell of it. Though the same criticism is true for other things.
The stress is on social networking sites ...FB just represents a more global avenue than any other..........ultimately we can in the same vein say the blame is not on any media but the person and their values and morals.........however these are portals available and do provide a platform for initiating such misdemeanours.......
I think Facebook can be more "evil" because there's no moderation. Here at Gupshup, if some "bad" stuff happens online, management has always intervened if it is specifically related to Gupshup premises. You can write say do pretty much anything on Facebook.
Also, here people are more private.
But again, if you have a tendency to get into trouble, you will, anywhere.

don't you think is it same kind a stress that our "mullas" put when internet was being adapted in families. emm .. oh internet is so open, internet has adult material, it should not be allowed bla bla .. .. ??
it all depends on how to use a particular thing. good or bad.
I totally understand and respect your point of view. I can share number of stories related to facebook where people met on facebook and all that stuff. But I always say, those people were suppose to meet eventually. That is in their nature. they can't stay satisfied with one person so they keep looking. If its not facebook then it would be something else. but there would be something.
Anyway, I accept the fact that facebook has provided lots of opportunities but I CAN'T accept the fact when people pin point facebook and forget about all other websites.
@Niksik
Facebook is way more moderated than this gupshup forum. you have control on each and every single thing that you have on facebook. what to share and what not to. it depends on how to secure your facebook account and I bet most of the people don't even bother to give a look at security page of facebook.
We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.The Internet has become trailer park for the soul.....
i'm already using the patch for my GS addiction to wear off, an additional facebook one I can't handle
thank the lord i don't use facebook. and for infidelity and stuff, blame the people's weaknesses and flaws if they stray especially if they're already in a wonderful marriage/relationship and not facebook or any of these social networking sites.
