facebook has become very famous lately in indonesian tv channels, since it seems like every tv program (except those not-so-real-reality shows which still play those melodrama that - the producers claimed - are not using any script and unfortunately nobody believes that, haha~) discusses about it. yess, for those who keeps being updated with indonesian news, you guys must be knowing that there's a rumor that facebook will be forbidden (in another word, haram) in indonesia because of one SILLYWILLY reason : communication between facebook users will lead to SECRET AFFAIR.
ok, what was my first reaction when i heard about this news?
"WTF!!!"
hahahaha~
well, i said those three cursing words not only because i am one of many ppl in this world who gets addicted to facebook, but also because of that silly reason!
firstly, lets see the true facts here. i have been using facebook since like one year ago, and i never got even one boyfriend from using that website. so how will i be led to any affair then?
i use facebook to keep in touch with my friends, since i'm now studying in another country and internet is such a very cheap medium of communication compared to telephone lines. for me, using facebook is like shopping in a one-stop-shopping complex, because facebook provides direct communication (using its chatroom and wall-to-wall feature) and it also acts as one medium of information (since everyone can post any important links in it), one kind of memory-reminder (by letting anyone post pictures of their childhoods and tag everyone in that picture), one medium of discussion (using 'comment' or 'like-dislike' feature), one medium of refreshments (by playing games or doing quizzes provided in it) and there are still many other advantages we can get from it besides using it as a medium for doing a secret affair. honestly, i never think of using facebook for that purpose, ever. and FYI, i am not the only person!
secondly, i just watched one show in antv this morning, and i heard an ustadz named ustadz Ahmad Al-Habsyi, if i'm not mistaken, talking about his opinion for this issue, and i really like his answer, which literally is the same with what i'm thinking about. here i quote what he was saying :
"in this case, we can imagine facebook as a knife. when someone uses that knife for killing a person, we cannot blame on the knife, of course we blame on the person who's using that, because we can use that knife for other better purposes, such as for cutting vegetables that we are going to cook"
yo, he's my man! hahahaha~
i do think the same way as he does. hey, if those ppl are going to make facebook become forbidden, they should do the same to internet then, because there are a lot of websites which provide more features that will lead the users to secret affairs, like porn websites or those advertisements saying "click here and one beautiful girl is waiting for you" or sumfin like that. see?? sorry to say this, but those ppl really need to open their eyes widely and be open-minded, man. however, it depends on the users, but i do personally think that most of facebook users are not using that website purposely as a medium for doing secret affairs. for those ppl who do : shame on you! hahaha~
well, that's just my opinion, but honestly, i cannot imagine if facebook really becomes forbidden someday -___-"
