Xposé

For a year now, I've been a member of Facebook©. It's really fun finding some old friends and schoolmates, and keeping in touch. It actually eased the way for some people to contact me in case they've lost my number, or their phone ran out of battery. Or in other cases, students in computer lab classes find the best way to pass a couple of hours of boredom. I thought that Facebook has been taken seriously by people all around unlike Hi5, but unfortunately I ran into some people with the silliest nicknames on earth just like "Kuwaiti Cool" or "Banoota 7laiwa". Lack of self-confidence probably drove those people to choose such nicknames. I decided to open up a fake account in order to see the OTHER SIDE of Facebook, and the things I've seen are just plain shocking.
Using my fake account, I started adding people randomly, and then when I've been noticed, people have started adding me. Regardless of the silly names that are on my list, the pictures that are there are really offensive, and sick. Girls are posing in the sluttiest ways and guys are proud to show off their favorite alcoholic drinks, or their so-called "six pack abs".
Facebook is being misused by a lot of people now. It has 2 most important rules that some people don't abide by.
1. Celebrity names, nicknames, or other fake names are not allowed and will not be approved
2. upload, post, transmit, share, store or otherwise make available any content that we deem to be harmful, threatening, unlawful, defamatory, infringing, abusive, inflammatory, harassing, vulgar, obscene, fraudulent, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.

Definition of Facebook: "a social utility that connects you with the people around you." Don't abuse it.

McReeeemmmyyyy,
Shloonich? 3eedich mbarak! min ziman 3annich! Hope that ur doing great! ANyways, regarding the facebook issue, this website is abussssseedddddd BIG TIME! They use it here to gossip about some girls or boys, to flirt, and for many improper
things. That's why i never used it and will never do! And btw, if you have personal pics of yours, make sure that u take them off the system, cause there've been some cases where those pics were used by others to harm the real picture individuals. Anyhow, good to read u again :p and read u later :P
