As we all know that social networking websites have been the centre of most of the internet community, and not to forget the youngsters, youngster interact with these websites (like Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, Bebo, Hi5,LinkedIn) more than 30 times a day. The fact that these websites have became an effective tool for propaganda against top political leaders as a large amount.
There are certain advertisements roaming around on social networking websites particularly on Facebook. These kinds of advertisements often have text, photographs, audio or video clips in which unknown people try to present negative opinion against politicians.
While talking about Facebook particularly, here on Facebook anyone can create his own advertisement with the provided guidelines and can decide terms and conditions based upon per day payment through various sources.
All attempts to find out the source of any of these advertisements have simply failed because those who post them do not show their identity. But the data, given with the advertisements, showed that thousands of people view them regularly.
Azeem Ashraf, a software engineer said:
It seems that everyone is a member of a social network these days. Whether it’s your kids on MySpace and Facebook, or your colleagues on LinkedIn, people are taking advantage of these new online meeting spaces to make friends, communicate and expand business opportunities,
Some of the lawyers states that if there is no source mentioned then no legal action can be taken against the source that created the negative advertisements.
Khwaja Naumanul Haq, a lawyer, said
the users do not enjoy any of the immunities granted to social networking sites under the law, so they should be careful to always act appropriately when posting messages or files to the sites.
There is another trend that the top political personalities create their own dedicated fan pages (profile in other words) for their fans in order to interact with their fans. This trend is quite good and far more positive than that of advertisements.
For instance there is a page on Facebook by former military dictator Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf and Pervez Musharraf has attracted 90,012 fans in just few months. The number of fans on the fan page of Imran Khan are 34,676. Both the personalities regularly interact with their fans and respond them accordingly.
