Gulf News - School punishes Filipino Boys for Facebook Kissing
Was just reading this article on Gulfnews.com about another incident in the Philipines involving teenagers posting kissing pictures on facebook. They are from an all catholic school. Earlier this month, filipina girls were held back from receiving their diploma's from high school as the nuns found pictures for them posing in their bikini's on facebook.
In my view, this is also happening in India, and as an Indian, i am not proud of it. But my point of view is, it shouldn't be happening at all. These are underage kids we are talking about, who are exposed to a lot of risk once these kind of pictures are published over a social networking site.
Facebook was intended only for colleges and universities in the US, which is when i signed up, but now, pretty much every tom, dick and harry is on facebook, not very private now is it? Agree that facebook has helped people and businesses alike but there is a line that has to be drawn somewhere. Amendments on the legal age of signing up for facebook need to me adhered to strictly, but i guess again being the internet its not very easy to monitor....
