facebook proxy - for all your proxy needs

Why do we need proxy service for Facebook? Well, it's a long story; read on and discover why you may need anonymous proxy servers to access it. One of the more popular social networking sites is Facebook. It was originally designed for college and university students but has since been made available to anyone with an email address. Folks can select to join one or more participating networks, such as a high school, place of employment, or geographic region. By 2007, this website had the biggest number of registered users among college-focused sites with over 25 million members worldwide (also from non-collegiate networks). On 26th September, 2006, Facebook became an open network site, much like other social networking sites such as MySpace. Validation is via either mobile phone or a security test. Despite security measures in place, as well as user privacy settings, there has been backlash and there are several Facebook groups protesting the opening of Facebook The University of New Mexico in October 2005 blocked access to Facebook from UNM campus computers and networks, citing unsolicited e-mails and a similar site called UNM Facebook. After a UNM user signed into Facebook from off campus, a message from Facebook said, "We are working with the UNM administration to lift the block and have explained that it was instituted based on erroneous information, but they have not yet committed to restore your access." UNM, in a message to students who tried to access the site from the UNM network, wrote, "This site is temporarily unavailable while UNM and the site owners work out procedural issues. The site is in violation of UNM's Acceptable Computer Use Policy for abusing computing resources (e.g., spamming, trademark infringement, etc.). The site forces use of UNM credentials (e.g., NetID or email address) for non-UNM business." However, after Facebook created an encrypted login and displayed a precautionary message not to use university passwords for access, UNM unblocked access the following spring semester. The Columbus Dispatch reported on June 22, 2006, that Kent State University's athletic director had planned to ban the use of Facebook by athletes and gave them until August 1 to delete their accounts. On July 5, 2006, the Daily Kent Stater reported that the director reversed the decision after reviewing the privacy settings of Facebook. Any blocked access to Facebook can be resolved by the use of Anonymous web proxy, to bypass the restrictions. This is in line with the media freedom and personal privacy that is much sought after in this world.
