The Reason Why Everyone Love Facebook Friend: Blessing Or Curse?

- How many friends do you have?

- It will be a thousand! Yours?

- Not so much, just like twenty-five.

- Aha, I was talking about a Facebook friend. It is difficult to find two or three friends!

The conversation is fictional but relevant. Many of us have thousands of friends on Facebook. Some have exceeded the limit of five thousand again. Many people are heard to say, 'I can't accept new requests as the number of friends has reached five thousand!' I have never seen a friend lost on Facebook after a long time, but I have never seen a friend who is a carbon copy of my thoughts. Got a lot. Again, I was embarrassed many times when strangers came to talk to me. Thinking about all this, I wrote today's blog about whether Facebook friends are a blessing or a curse in life. In fact, it is not a curse to keep a little eye open on many things, it is the blessing that becomes the main thing in life and that is the subject of today:

1. Information and regular updates

When technology did not give birth to this innovation, people had no idea what was going around the world. Now they are able to educate and update themselves with the current happenings. Televisions and print media have limitations on them and they do not convey the right information all the time, but this platform is guaranteed to provide with the right information and facts which will require a little bit of researching.

2. Be careful not to give out personal information

One hundred hands should be kept away from giving any kind of personal information on any social media including Facebook. Where very good friends, even family members sometimes become enemies - this is a Facebook friend! If you are chatting with someone on a regular basis, you often leave a lot of sensitive information without knowing it. Home address, phone number, phone password or development number. These are all your personal information. Under no circumstances should you share this information with a virtual friend. Never keep your personal information public on Facebook. Do not give your location on Facebook. Even if someone in the friendliest sends a suspicious link, don't click there.

Many people share their personal information, videos, or photos, willingly or unwillingly, with emotions such as 'Am I not your friend?' The result? Every day you hear the various stories of cheating in fancy ways in the newspaper!

3. Be careful with hangouts

One thing is very common nowadays. Especially in big cities, people go out to hang out with strangers, half-acquaintances in an attempt to make ‘Cool Dude’. What people call 'hangout' for the sake of Facebook. If you want to hang out on your mobile phone or on Facebook, you must have someone you know with you. This is exactly what happened to Nilu in the recently released movie 'Devi'. Neelu and Ranu went to meet a virtual friend of Neelu. The friend did not come forward as he was with Ranu. But one day while visiting alone, Neelu had to fall prey to a mentally ill friend. This is just an example. I'm not saying all virtual friends are bad. One should believe only after considering whether it is good or bad.

4. No more neglecting the friend next door

We unknowingly forget the messages, countless notifications, thousands of likes, comments, and shares of friends sitting next to us at the fair. It's true that many of our virtual friends act like tonics in their lonely time, but giving more importance to Facebook friends than school-college or neighbourhood friends is not only foolish but also grossly unfair. These people will stand by your side in happiness and sorrow, in danger. Turn off the data connection before sitting down to chat with friends. It is not right to be busy on the mobile phone with someone sitting in front of you. Technology has made our lives easier, people thousands of miles away have become close friends. But in the process, our friends have become distant people. We do not even know when it happened!

5. Necessary judgment-analysis to advance friendship

Sarah Koon Michael, a young American who is very popular on Facebook, travelled thousands of miles to Bangladesh to marry her Facebook friend. Ignoring the distance from California to Barisal, he chose the man he loved. Such incidents are often seen nowadays. Whether from emigration, such as love or marriage from one area to another within the country is often happening around us. It is very normal to have a special feeling towards someone after talking for a long time. But think logically as well as emotionally to make this feeling last forever. Such a decision should be taken only after knowing about his family, surroundings, education, tastes. Make sure that the love of the moment does not cause you to regret later.

6. Advantage of cyber law

At present, the number of Facebook users seems to be increasing day by day. Of these, 80 per cent of users are at risk of cybercrime. 20 per cent of users are directly involved in some form of cybercrime and only 10 per cent of users are aware of cybersecurity. With so much security, so much caution, we still make mistakes. I may forget and trust someone, open a window of my mind with a fake ID or face a distorted mentality of a psychopath without any specific reason. In that case, you can take the help of the cybercrime suppression unit of the police with the proof of everything without being confused. If necessary, you can keep a general diary (GD). You can also inform the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) in writing. Because no legal aid can be obtained without a GD or lawsuit.

If you face any kind of threat or danger online, you should take the help of cyberlaw without delay. In our country, especially girls are victims of various types of blackmail on Facebook. If you or someone you know is in such a situation, only cyber law can save you from it. Remember, there is no end to the demands of those who can do disgusting things like blackmail. After two days, he will continue to blackmail you in new ways. Therefore, one should be careful from the beginning without indulging and it is advisable to take the help of law if necessary.

Amazingly, nowadays we can communicate our thoughts to the whole world without the help of telephone, telegram or postal department. The news of the mind is going to the friend, new friends are also being formed in this blue and white world of Facebook. There is no setback in this friendship, there is no responsibility. This friendly relationship, built just to have a good time, will be a blessing to all. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. And this is how Facebook will become a blessing for you!
