Criticism of Facebook
Facebook’s development as an Internet social networking website has met criticism on a variety of problems, including online privacy, child safety, and the failure to eliminate accounts without first manually removing the content. In 2008, many businesses removed their advertising from the website because it was being shown on the pages of questionable individuals and groups. The content material of user pages, groups, and forums has been criticized for endorsing subjects such as pro-anorexia and religious blasphemy. There have already been numerous problems with censorship, both on and off the site.
The modifications made by Facebook have already been criticized, in particular the new format launched in 2008 and the changes in Facebook’s Terms of Use, which eliminated the clause describing automatic expiry of deleted content. Facebook has also been sued a number of times.
