2. The origins and development of Facebook
Which
Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg - a computer science student at Harvard University. In 2003, during his sophomore year, Mark Zuckerberg wrote Facemash (the predecessor of Facebook) - this website asked users to use two images side by side to vote who was the "hottest" (hottest).
In order to be able to call up the image information used for comparison, Mark Zuckerberg hacked into the school's network in order to obtain the images of the students. The results are surprising, in just 4 hours of operation, Facemash has attracted more than 450 hits and 22.000 image views.
However, this work by Zuckerberg was discovered by the Harvard network administrator and of course Mark Zuckerberg was charged with security breach, copyright infringement, invasion of privacy and was faced with expulsion. but eventually the sentence was lifted.
The next semester, on February 4, 2004, Mark Zuckerberg decided to start The Facebook, which was originally used as thefacebook.com. Six days after the site launched, Zuckerberg was accused of deliberately tricking three Harvard seniors into trusting them while building a social network called HarvardConnection.com, all with a 1,2 million stock settlement (valued at US $ 300 million Dollars when Facebook went public).
Facebook was officially launched in 2005, then the word βTheFacebookβ was officially removed and the name βFacebookβ stayed as it is today.

4. Some notes on using Facebook
Thanks to Facebook, we can freely share, interact with each other and use other extremely useful functions. However, Facebook is not always positive, it becomes "counterproductive" if we do not know the following information:
- Your personal information on Facebook can be collected by others to use for many good or bad purposes. You should limit the disclosure of important information about yourself.
- Applications with user interactive features, entertainment applications that appear more and more on Facebook are also one of the reasons why you collect information. Avoid apps that ask you for a password to sign in.
- Expressing personal views in a bluff is also to be expected. People often say "words of the wind fly" but for social networks this is not true, whatever your comments on Facebook are recorded by netizens and sometimes impulsive words. Anger can sometimes be so strong that you can't even imagine it!
