Social media - An extreme case of murder and suicide !

True. But such incidents are taking place. everywhere . Recently in my own place such incident took place. People should understand the limits of sharing personal data in the Social media.

Yes, this was in the papers last week, very shocking incident. I feel that the problem is not just overusage of social media, but failure to connect with each other on a personal level. Education and financial freedom in case of many young couples lead them to be more independent from each other and they feel that when a partner wants to connect with you on different aspects, it is the intrusion of privacy. This restriction is not extended towards friends, close or otherwise, and on social media. Really funny and contradicting.,

These are very bad happened , Nowadays peoples have made social media is a part of their life and they are share their all information on whats- app, Facebook and so on...but it should not do. People should understand the social media is a platform that are we connect to our friends and relatives not have a share our personal information..

Thats a very tragic incident. IT jobs have become very stressful and ultimately it starts taking a toll on your health and mental balance i guess. Cant think on any other reason why sharing info on social media would have triggered such an extreme step. 

People need to have some limitations as to what personal information one can share especially when it concerns other people like in this case her husband..The very fact that the lady shared information about fertility clinic etc shows her insensitivity towards her husband s feelings. But instead of reprimanding her and having a talk with her , to take such a drastic step as killing her also shows that there were probably more serious problems..

Social media has become an exhibition ground. You feel overwhelmed with the emotions pouring in. People love to put their emotions on social media and fail to show it in personal life. Everything personal has become social. One should really be careful and not get carried away with sharing everything on these platforms.

Cyber bullying and cyber sexual abuse, trolling and many cyber crimes are mushrooming because one fails to understand where to draw a line and keep personal information to self

This reminds of something that happened on Facebook a while ago. One of my friends, who I have now deleted would post derogatory comments about her husband and grown up son which many found very unfair. On one occasion the husband who must have been reading all her posts posted a comment giving his side of the said argument/fight they had. I wonder what impact it would have had on her teenaged son to read such comments from his mother. I took the liberty of telling her not to do so because I felt sorry for the youngsters having his own issues as a teenager. But she was angry telling me not to feel.sorty for him etc etc..Anyway I deleted her name after that because it was making me morose to read that. Why shd people wash their dirty linen on a public atform ? What do they gain ?

This mentioned incident was truly shocking, but there are cases where such impacts are happening and in some cases there has been some sort of negativeness as well as tension ripping into minds for some. Due to presence of face book on smart phones as well as availability phones and low cost of Internet the spreading of Internet and smart phones now reached to far and wide of India and that makes every persos or most of the persons to have such social media accounts. What it lacks the most is all about all these social media functions does provide huge form of privacy freedoms to users and it s for them to learn and activate those.

The whole problem arises when people forget their limits and limitations while using Social Media. I know, many are of the opinion revealing personal details in Social Media is prestigious.

Isolated instances should not be expanded to represent the whole society.

It is my opinion that we should be shared any details about our family life with any one. Relation between husband and wife is of special nature. We must be keep it up to our self.

I say any family details Social websites or otherwise, especially relation between  between Husband and wife should not be shared  with others.  By revealing such details in the Social Websites people faced lot of problems.

It is the isolated instances that cause death that get highlighted ..

I agree with anil that one should be careful while sharing information of Facebook. I see so many of my friends giving minute by minute information as to where they are and how many days they would be away, where they intend going ..dont they realise that first of all they are laying themselves open to dangers of theft, housebreak , anything is possible !

I don't think it is an isolated case. Many women, including House wives committed suicides,  A House wife in here suicide note  said because her husband suspected her that she had illicit affair with a Social media friend. Such cases are happening very regularly.

Indeed it is amusing at times to see food people eat on display , their outings on display, sometimes flooding the pages with dozens of pictures of one event ...there is too much of everything ! It is also a platform for profile picture a day for some in different dresses and poses, at least that is harmless fun..

Well said. If people take out time to stay connected with the people they meet on their daily life, social media would not be such a bad tool. But the problem is that many people in personal life might not even say hello properly to those around them but would lay bare all their feelings online

In moderation, Social Media can be a great way to connect to others to relate to their peers and to express themselves. Over exposure to Social media can have serious negative consequences. Display of everything and clicking on Likes is mere madness. Desire to disclose personal information about ourselves to others is ingrained in the human condition.

Exactly Jabeen, I see so many posts from people I know, they hardly have any real friends or make any efforts to get to know people when they meet others in person, but are really trying hard to get more likes and comments on numerous profile pictures or shared posts etc. This particular incident stands out like an eyesore, becuase the lady in question, without considering the humiliation and she caused to her husband, talked about her husband's inability to have a child and treatment details over the social media. Imagine how insulted he must be, he did request her on multiple occasions to not do that, but she did not heed him. Of course, his way out was totally wrong, he should have approached some elderly family members to intervene instead of taking the extreme step. But it just goes to show how people are cocooned in their own imaginary world rather than face the real world with guts.

In the past, the neighborhood was responsible for many mishaps and misunderstandings. Now nobody knows the neighbors. everyone is busy with his own affairs only. Now it is the Facebook and other net social sites that spoil relation more. Now social media is the nearest neighbor.  

The greatest advantage that social media has is connectivity with friends and family living away . I suppose that is what it was intended for but people abuse it all the time in different ways. I use Facebook to keep in touch, follow news links, music forums ..I know of some people who are constantly on Facebook even educating me of my own movements , which means I have to constantly change my privacy settings. People can be highly intrusive..
