Introduction

Facebook is a platform where users connect with friends and family, through their personal profiles and 'Facebook wall'. Here, users can post information about their relationships, family members, interests, photos, workplaces, schools, occupation etc. Users can connect with others by becoming a 'friend' and can accept or decline requests from others. Facebook also has a joined platform called 'Messenger' where users can privately interact with one another by sending messages.
