So the other day i got an unwanted friend request from someone i did not know. i went about denying the request and going about my life. Problem of a creeper resolved right…
wrong.!
The fellow which will remain unnamed decided it would be a good idea to write to me and ask me why i did not accept his friend request. Beyond creepy right?
Well this is what facebook can do. it reveals your pictures and some information to complete strangers, and those people who normally would keep away now feel that they have the right to be creepy online. It allows them to hide behind a keyboard and make other people uncomfortable. Although the idea of facebook can be comforting to some because it allows them to share ideas and other things with friends and family it also allows for weirdos to have a new means of communication. They are able to get one on one contact with you and it can be a bit disturbing. I mean thank goodness for a block button which allows you to mark the person as someone who you do not want to have access to your page of information. A bit of relief there.
