USE OF THE FACEBOOK SOCIAL NETWORK: A public market where everything is sold, bought and said
According to journaldunet.com, at the end of 2020, Facebook had 2.85 billion monthly active users and 1.88 billion daily active users worldwide. Figures that show how much Facebook drains the world.
Like a market, some users sell their items, create pages for this purpose. Meanwhile, others are posting their photo for their own buzz. Exhibition, sharing of pornographic images, invitations to like this or that publication, to share another to have the grace of God. A whole hubbub.
On this network, romantic encounters are made. Par excellence, Facebook has become for some users, the platform of lies. A twelve-year-old child living in Cotonou pretends to be in Germany. The majority have studied at the University of Abomey Calavi when in reality, some are only twelve or even 15 years old.
Comments and likes that do not correspond to anything posted by X or Y. Yet at the market we go there to sell and return with money or buy and return with food. Unfortunately, many users do not know how to take advantage of Facebook. Virtually free, the youngest access and spend more than half of their day on this network. Instead of profiting from it, they post images, videos or texts that can later harm them.
In any case, except for redefined functionalities to reframe the use of Facebook by certain sections of the population, there remains for the time being the public market where everything is sold, bought and said.
