Posted by Inderjeet as Orkut, social networking, Orkut AMAZINGS
In this time of 2008 apart from many good social networks and good communities there are few communities on orkut and thefacebook which allows people to give vent to their anti-social feelings.These anti-social feelings can be in the form of hostility towards some celebrity or a popular person or just an emotion of hatred or dislike.
Of these there are anti-social communities or rather hate communities for Ekta Kapoor (76,468), Himesh Reshamiya (33,137), Shah Rukh Khan (11,179), Greg Chappell (7,659), Musharraf (1,362) Amitabh Bachchan (1,410) to name a few.The members of these communities are in thousands and increasing day-by-day.Even Mahatma Gandhi,Father of Nation of India has 6,647 members.
Osama-Bin-Laden
shares a community too.We have also heard about the social networking sites banned in some countries which do not put a check on these communities or to the extent they promote hate.China and Korea for example.
This is what the Google Spokesperson has to say about these orkut hate communities.
We take the abuse of Orkut seriously and are constantly developing new tools to review inappropriate content on the site. Orkut users can report content to our reviewers by clicking the ‘report as bogus’ button. There are also tools for community owners to delete posts or topics, ban users and delete anonymous posts
These things are going to increase day by day as if there is a good side there is bad too.
But the google authorities and we people in general have to limit these to an extent that do not prove to be a bad consequence for our world.
