"Teenage girl missing after going to meet a man she had fallen for on Facebook"

I see another lawsuit brewing over this one, although I note they've worded it more carefully, so as to only salaciously hint that she actually met him there.

"The case bears striking resemblance to that of 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall, who was killed by a predator in his 30s who won her trust on Facebook by pretending to be a good looking teenage boy. Ms Shaw had discussed the case with her daughter in an effort to stop he using the social networking site."

What a crock of shit. I really hope Facebook grow some bollocks and do something about this vile plague. They're one of the few victims of the Daily Mail who can actually afford to crush them like a bug.

Tabloid newspapers are far more of a "Toxic Addiction" than the likes of Facebook will ever be.

Just look at this very paper; day in and day out, the same old stories written the same old people with about as much knowledge of the subject matter as my left foot. Not only that, but the stories are accompanied by a 'comments section', a Web.2.0 application in itself, where the most insecure and dare I say, mentally disturbed posters on the Internet come to boost their Ego's and pretend they are gods gift to humanity.

There is song called "Only Entertainment" by the band Bad Religion, which perfectly sums up this scare mongering journalism.

what I am saying is - you harp on about Facebook and how you are so godly with your "real life" - yet you foam at the mouth and run the comments boxes on every single chicanerous storyline you read on here. Ridiculous

Schoolboy stabbed at Victoria station in 'pre-arranged fight' had been watched by Chelsea scouts

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1261155/Victoria-station-stabbing-schoolboy-watched-Chelsea-scouts.html#ixzz0jTboRP83

Quote:
Friends of Sofyen, who was of Moroccan origin, said the fight could have been arranged on social networking sites such as Facebook.


Quote:
One of Sofyen’s friends claimed his killing would have been organised on the internet. The 15-year-old boy, who declined to be named, said: ‘This would have been sorted out on MSN or Facebook, it is where we talk to each other, I have no doubt about it.’


Though this could well have been organised on the evil facebook, does it really matter? Does it not only matter because the Mail have a little agenda they're trying to grind into their readers minds. Completely disrespectful - i doubt they've even spoken to "one of Sofyen's friends".

Fights are probably organised using mobile phones - why aren't text messages being demonised?! £££££

I think we should just blame this generally on the written word. Had the Mail been around at the time, I'm sure it would've been vehemently against the teaching of movable printed type to the lower classes.

Now, 650 years later, look what it's lead to. Won't someone PLEASE think of the children??? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Facebook is wrecking my daughter's future

Interesting best rated comments though.

She had an iPhone at the age of 15?! Jesus Christ. Maybe Daddy should stop spoiling her and take more of an interest in what she's doing. Anyway it's not uncommon to go off the rails a bit at that age, if it wasn't spending time on Facebook etc it would probably be the time honoured ritual of hanging round the bus stop with a bottle of White Lightning.

As I think one of the commenters pointed out, if teenagers want to find a way to waste time and avoid schoolwork they will undoubtedly find it, and that has always been the case. If it wasn't Facebook it would be computer games or TV. I well remember back in the dark ages when I was at university, we were in primitive no-personal-computer days and I was in a flat where we couldn't afford a TV: but if I didn't want to work my displacement activities were going out with friends, talking to friends, or just reading non-work books. I don't recall the Mail demanding that friends and books be banned.

Exactly why do they hate Facebook so much? I don't remember them persecuting Myspace like this. Is there a business interest in a rival site perhaps? I know the DMGT tried to buy Friends Reunited a few years back but failed.

Because:
a) The majority of their readership won't understand it, and therefore view it with suspicion
b) Mailites see their kids using it, so there's a market in telling them that their children are being cyber-raped by immigrant muslim paedophiles with hooks for hands.
c) They are SO gigantic as to not really give a shit what the Daily Mail spouts about them.

They seem so obsessed by facebook you can only think there is some commercial reason behind it - or maybe its just because it has created so many fodder stories to fill their pages with.

I'd imagine that it's to get better results on searches. Stick a phrase such as "...social networking sites such as Facebook..." in, and the story will appear higher on any random searches for the term 'Facebook'. Much as in the Scrabble story, the words 'Beyonce' and 'Shakira' were put in, not as illustrative examples of proper nouns, but in order to jog the story up the search results.

After reading that story I have absolutely no idea what the hell actually happened at that school.

All I know is, Facebook is a plant by ZaNuLieBore and must be banned, then all the children caned and put in the Army.
