We have all heard the sad story of a 19-year-old girl by the name Mercy Bundi, who committed suicide after being assaulted by a foreigner who she meet on Facebook.
Careful Who You Meet Online: 19 Year Old Commits Suicide After Being Sexually Assaulted By A Mzungu
This has really gotten me thinking about some of the things young people don’t get when it comes to the use of social media, and mostly Facebook. Nowadays, some young characters just send nude pics and even sex clips on Facebook as if it’s just a norm!
Well, I sought to remind this young folk some few things they should know or always remember about Facebook:
1. First, your friends on Facebook are not your real friends! They are virtual, meaning, not all of them are your friends in the physical sense. Most of us have never even met half of the ‘friends’ we have on Facebook. Consequently, you may be more prone to meet liars, hypocrites and even cons on Facebook. And that’s why some people don’t use their real names!
2. Facebook is not a photo gallery for nude photos and videos! In any case, what are you thinking sending someone nude photos? Let no one deceive you that they will never leak them to the public. As long as they are out of your phone gallery, they are already in the public domain! If you can, resist the urge of taking nudes or sex clips to start with.
