Reportedly Indian Institute of Information Technology-Allahabad (IIIT-A) banned its students and staff from accessing social networking site Facebook for an unspecified period of time.
Three students have lodged the complain of threat and abuse on the social networking site forcing officials to take an immediate step. The Dean RC Tripathi says in an interview that — “There restriction has been imposed with effect from March 1 and will remain in force for an unspecified period.”
Victimized students includes a BTech (IT) 2011 student has been accused of putting up posts threatening a girl student of biomedical engineering, two BTech (IT) 2010 batch students have been charged with using “abusive language”.
No doubt this challenge will be very tough for all students. The premier institute has also warned its students against maintaining web blogs. Insisting that offensive messages on social networking sites and blogs by students are detrimental to the institute’s image, the IIIT-A has asked students not to blog and post offensive material as they violate the code of conduct of the institute.
