Facebook Hires IIT-Delhi Student For Rs 65 Lakh a Year

Social networking site Facebook will now have an employee from the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi.

After trying - and failing - to recruit students from the institute last year, Facebook came back to the campus this year and chose 21-year-old Ankur Dahiya, a student of computer science engineering.

Dahiya's annual salary package is around Rs 65 lakh.

"Ever since I heard Facebook would come to recruit, I wanted to get in. It was a long-standing dream. My parents were obviously elated," said Dahiya, who belongs to Rohtak in Haryana.

This is the first time that Facebook has recruited a student from IIT-Delhi. The social networking giant had hired a student from IIT-Chennai last year.

The company, started in February 2004, has scouted for talent at many other IIT campuses in India this year. Unlike last year when it hired only two students from India, Facebook is eyeing the country as a talent hub this time around.

Dahiya will be placed in Palo Alto, California as a programmer after he finishes his course next year.

"The interview and the test were completely subject-based. They asked me to do some encoding and programming," said Dahiya, whose all-India rank in the IIT-JEE exam was 56.

Facebook was unable to hire any student last year as they expressed a desire to come to the campus a tad too late.

This time around, however, they were in the first batch of employers.

Facebook Faces Ban In Kashmir Due To Spreading Discontent

Government is contemplating ban on social networking website Facebook following provocative, obscene and sacrilegious material uploaded from a large section of the users, informed sources said.

They said the police authorities have recommended to the government to place blanket ban on the website as the objectionable material could bring back the street unrest in the Valley.

Sources said that police have based their recommendations on the inputs gathered from various sources including CID that some elements were bent upon destroying peace in Kashmir, and as part of their strategy were posting high objectionable material on the website.
     

               Police have based their recommendations on the inputs gathered from various sources including CID that some elements were bent upon destroying peace in Kashmir, and as part of their strategy were posting high objectionable material on the website. They said that posting of blasphemous material on the website early this week, which provoked street protests on Friday, was a part of the conspiracy.
        The Facebook has been flooded with highly obscene and objectionable material over the 

past some time. Under fake names, a section of users post nude pictures and porn videos on their pages. Police is reported to have launched a manhunt to track down the users but could not arrest them as they did not operate from a given area or place. “They keep on changing their area of operations so are not traced”, said a middle-rung police officer.
Director General of Police (DGP), Kuldeep Khoda recently admitted that cybercrime was posing a serious challenge to policing. He said that three Cyber Police Stations were being set up at Srinagar, Jammu and Crime Headquarters to meet this challenge.

   After three consecutive summers of unrest

(2008, 09, 10), Kashmir witnessed a peaceful summer this year. Police however believe that the peace is a fragile proposition which can be undone by a small incident. “We have not lowered the guard. We are keeping a strong vigil. There are elements who are determined to destroy peace”, said a police officer. Police authorities are linking together the recent conversion issue, and sacrilegious and porn material being posted on social networking websites mainly Facebook and view it as an attempt by the vested interests to disturb peace.

The law maintaining authorities view Facebook users as major threat to peace in Kashmir. They say that last year's unrest in the valley was fuelled by the use of social media by young Kashmiris to launch an 'online Intifada'. The status updates on Facebook and the videos posted on YouTube were of the violence and crackdown that happened during the stone throwing incidents in the summer of 2010. While it made the over 10 million Indian online community aware that the disgruntled in Kashmir were not merely the aged Huriyat gentlemen on TV screens but also the young and all. It led to increased international media interest in the Kashmir agitation. A police crackdown after two months saw the banning text messages, SMS service and stopping of internet services for some months during the troubled days. Police also arrested dozens of Facebook and booked them under infamous Public Safety Act (PSA).
“Azadi” is still the most cherished subject with a large number of young Kashmiri users. They keep on debating and discussing the ways and means for “azadi” unendingly. This gave rise to an anti-group as well who, on their part, have launched a severe counter campaign against Kashmir’s separatist leadership.

The latest page that addressed the Prophet of Islam Hazrat Mohammad (SAW) in contempt and put the picture of holy Kabaa in even more blasphemous way had been named as “This dog can have more fans than Syed Ali Geelani”. Hundreds of people across Kashmir protested against the page users on Friday.
Sources said that the government did not want to give any chance to separatists to capitalize on the sentimental outburst of the people, and has advised police to take all measures and checks to keep things under control. They said that police deemed Facebook as major that could generate discontent, and have thus proposed to ban it, at least, in the valley.

Facebook spam attack results in graphic images for some users.

Facebook said a deliberate spam attack was behind a flood of graphic images that some users had reported seeing in their news feeds.The issue, which first surfaced last week, had largely been resolved by late

Tuesday, said Frederic Wolens, a spokesman at the company. Mr. Wolens said the attack lured users into copying and pasting a Web address into their browser with the promise of showing them a neat video or telling them who was viewing the profile.
Instead, that Web site installed malicious software that began filling their news feeds with violent and pornographic images without their knowledge.
Mr. Wolens declined to say how many users had been affected, but did say it was "a small minority." Facebook said no user data or accounts were compromised during the attack."Our team responded quickly and we have eliminated most of the spam caused by this attack," the company said. "We are now working to improve our systems to better defend against similar attacks in the future."Some around the Web have speculated that Anonymous, the hacker movement, might be responsible for the attack.
 But Facebook said the attack had been designed for financial gain. The junk posts sent users to affiliate sites that could generate revenue for the spammers.
