It recently came to our attention that people will soon be able to sent money via Facebook messenger. This sounds all good and well for real friends and family (we are not talking about virtual friends) to send money to someone who urgently needs it, but we see some problems with this and have a question or two.
Facebook seems to do everything to stay current and in the loop, from buying Whatsapp to now hiring David Marcus the president of Paypal to head the messenger undertaking.
Now the question is will Facebook get their security up to standard. We all heard of or felt the sting of the lack of decent security on Facebook. Accounts being hacked, viruses running amok etc.
Is it then a good idea to look into something where people needs to give up credit card information? “Oh yes you are going to have to give up credit card information to make this work. How did you think this is going to work anyway?” Does it not make sense for Facebook to first hire someone like Robert Herjavec to get security up to par, not that we think Mr. Herjavec would be interested unless its done through his company Herjavec Group butt still a good idea we think. You see what we re doing here is pleading with Facebook to bulk up security before they put peoples money in jeopardy.
Now, we have spoken with some people and it seems that in the underbelly of the beast called Facebook there is people connecting for some .... Well lets just say some less than moral things. Its not Facebook’s fault, Facebook cannot scour the ends of their massive empire all the time, that’s why they ask people to report stuff like it. Once again another good reason for a better security system, but that’s beside the point here because... Now as we have said we have spoken to some people and their seems to be hidden a world of sex drugs and looseness maybe even some adultery.
What we heard from some reputable and not so reputable models etc that they sometimes are asked for more photo’s and more disturbing maybe, more revealing photos. Now here is the question...we think? Does this new messenger money send open a whole new world for solicitation?
Imagine if you will a conversation in the form of the following:
1- “I need to see more.”
2- “More of what?”
1- “You know what, more of your body sexy. Post some more revealing pics.”
2- “How about this, you send me $ 10.00 for a photo and give me your email and I will sent you some very revealing pics. Maybe we can even have a Skype chat were you can see much more live, for a few dolla’s of course.”
You see this can even go so far as to meetings like this where sex is for sale for upfront cash and this in turn may even lead to people getting ripped off, and once again who is going to get the blame? Like always it would be you Facebook, the social media that people just cant stay away from but want to because of security risks. Security risks to not only privacy but also identity, money and their relationships.
Maybe the money send should be left to platforms that has a proven security track record like Paypal etc. or the safest way, funding sites like Indiegogo where they take the money first from contributors and then pay you. Yes it may take longer and obviously there is risks, but compared to the risks above.... You decide for yourself.
