Haze's reflection

It is all about a story of a man, Mustafa Fteja who own Facebook account has been banned without any warning and specific reason. Due to the cutoff of his Facebook account, he lost an important medium of keeping contact with his family and friends, part of his friends even misunderstood that Fteja was the one who made the option of “de-friend” them. He therefore started suing Facebook for $500,000 as compensation of his loss in the incident.

From the article we can see that Facebook – a kind of online community/platform that we usually use or rely on can be a tool to hold people’s relationship even we were in long distance. Yet, if we were being too relied on new technologies and suddenly they go error, we would have all contacts lost or nothing left. It could be a dilemma that not to be addressed easily.

Besides, the news shows that online communities could close the personal account of any one of us without any notice and reason. It’s seems that the web-masters could close down or block our account and information that offense the site’s own “interest” but they were not responsible to reply anything as they has already assume all of us have agree the terms of Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Therefore, carefully handle the usage of these tools and publication of information is our own responsibility and is a must.
