A “Face book” refers to a directory-style publication that is commonly used within American colleges and universities. This publication typically includes information about students, faculty, or staff members. During the early 2000s, these face books transitioned online and began offering advanced features such as password protection and detailed user information. A significant development in this field occurred in 2004 when Mark Zuckerberg created an unofficial online face book known as thefacebook.com. However, this initiative faced challenges due to concerns about privacy^[4] and accusations of security^[5] breaches and copyright^[2] violations. Nowadays, the term “Facebook^[3]” is widely associated with the popular social media^[1] platform that Zuckerberg co-founded.

Terms definitions

1. ↑ social media. Social media is a broad term encompassing a variety of digital tools and platforms that facilitate the sharing of information and the creation of virtual communities. Emerging from early systems like PLATO and ARPANET, it has evolved into modern platforms like Facebook and Twitter. These platforms offer unique features that differentiate them from traditional media, including the ability for users to generate content and engage in dialogic communication. They cater to over 100 million users globally and offer different forms of services, such as messaging apps and collaborative content creation platforms. The use of social media has far-reaching impacts on individuals, society, and businesses, influencing everything from marketing practices to political processes. However, it's also associated with ethical concerns, such as the spread of misinformation and potential addiction.

2. ↑ copyright. Copyright is a legal term that provides the creator of an original work exclusive rights to its use and distribution, typically for a limited period of time. This concept originated in England, with the passage of the Licensing of the Press Act in 1662 and the Statute of Anne in 1710. Over the centuries, copyright laws have evolved significantly, with international treaties and conventions such as the Berne Convention and the Universal Copyright Convention standardizing these rights globally. Copyright applies to a wide variety of creative expressions including literary works, music, films, choreography, paintings, software, broadcasts, and designs. It is important to note that copyright protection requires a minimal level of originality and typically expires after a set period of time.
