Turkish Government to Ban Facebook Tomorrow

[Scunner]

I cant believe just how many rumours have gone around about facebook, twitter.... and the fake images of Istanbul riots. 

Agreed. To me it is absolutely incredible, the ease at which people are told something and just blindly accept it to be true. Not just the ease, but the numbers...

And the amount of false information and incorrect advice freely handed out by Facebook members is another concern. Although I'm not personally concerned, if people want to believe rubbish from a complete stranger it doesn't make much of a difference to my little life

Quote ...

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ told press on Thursday that the government will not ban social media websites but will bring in new regulations to prevent the creation of fake accounts on such sites.

Now I would be interested in how the AKP can stop people having multiple/fake accounts in an American company like Face Book...Cannot see FB letting anyone control them!

It's certainly been debated, thanks Firo.

The Government are going to have to close a few of their own accounts first! those 'social media devil's' they've been using to 'rally' their supporters!!!

Or is this another case of 'Do as I say - Not as I Do'

But we all know that if it's posted on Facebook, Twitter or CBF for that matter, it MUST be true !

So from noon tomorrow, nothing will be true
