Title: Facebook Becomes a Tool for Human Trafficking in SE Asia
Post by: proudlao on February 26, 2013, 12:12:10 PM
People’s fondness of social networking sites has its pros and cons. For younger people, especially, be careful with any information you disclose to the public because your life could be put into danger.

In Indonesia, social networking sites such as Facebook are now being used to help kidnappers locate and obtain youngsters.

as with all things...... it can be used for good or bad.


remember when the government overthrow in egypt was able to happen because they used facebook for communication?


I think proper education about common sense goes a long way here...... don't accept strangers on facebook.

I think we give out too much information on facebook. 

Facebook has more information on us than the government.
