Among the proofs of the greatness of God's power in the millennium is the emergence of various kinds of information media that are very helpful for ease in various matters. The convenience covers various fields of affairs, not just in the form of sharing information but has penetrated into the fields of business, education, da'wah and so on.Besides the many positive sides of social media, on the other hand social media is also a vehicle for various negative actions, such as hoaxes, fighting, sex trafficking, drug sales and so on. So this study tries to examine the nabawi hadiths relating to things that must be heeded in social media, specifically those related to hoaxes, with the induction approach using qualitative analysis. The purpose of the research is to provide insight to the community in using social media so that there is no violation of religious teachings or legislation when integrating on social media. As well as being a wrong solution in tackling and minimizing various forms of irregularities and violations that occur in the community in social media, both offenders in the form of crimes of intimidation, provocation, fraud, counterfeiting and so on, are spurred from hoax news.The conclusion of this study is that making or spreading hoaxes is an act that is strictly prohibited and prohibited in the nabawi hadiths which are the second source of law in Islamic law after the noble Qur'an. The culprit has the right to be punished in the world in a criminal manner or get a severe punishment in the hereafter, according to the effects and headlines of the lies he did.

AbstractDomestic photography and the family photograph album hold significance as artefacts “communicating an ideal familial image and reifying the familial bonds, and also preserving a memory of a specific time” (Sarvas and Frohlich, 2011, p. 148). However, today’s practice of domestic photography is generally relocated to social media (Sarvas and Frohlich, 2011). Photographs previously found in the family photograph album are now likely to be located on the screens of phones and tablets.Using a Domestication of Technology framework, this article discusses how families are using Facebook to create, curate, share and archive family memories. It shows how families go through the phases of appropriation, incorporation, objectification and conversion when they adopt Facebook as the family photograph album. The authors also explore ways in which virtual family photograph albums can result in parental tension around domestic tasks of sharing and archiving family memories online, along with the possible implications of creating a potentially embarrassing, unauthorized digital footprint for their children.

The explosion of social networking sites in recent years has given many Kim Kardashian wannabes an opportunity to display and glamorise their supposed activities and achievements. However, it has also unwittingly given employers an opportunity to pry into the personal (and at times very personal) affairs of their prospective employees through the practice of cyber-vetting. Social media users should take note. They should think very carefully before they post, tweet or upload a photograph as their future employer may be watching and to paraphrase US Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, removing something from the Internet is about as easy as removing urine from a swimming pool! Dr Brenda Berkelaar of Purdue University, who completed a PhD on cyber-vetting, described the practice as: “when organizations use information from search engines or social networking communities to evaluate job candidates.” In its simplest form, cyber-vetting is the examination by employers of the digital footprint ...

BACKGROUND The Internet has become a popular platform for patients to obtain information and review the providers they interact with. However, little is known on the digital footprint of vascular surgeons and their interactivity with patients on social media. OBJECTIVE This study aims to understand the activity of academic vascular surgeons on physician rating websites. METHODS Information on attending vascular surgeons affiliated with vascular residency or fellowships in the Southern Association for Vascular Surgery was collected from public sources. A listing of websites containing physician rating was obtained via literature review and google search. Open access websites that contain either qualitative or quantitative evaluation of vascular surgeons were included. Closed access websites were excluded. Ranking scores from each website were converted to a standard 5-point scale for comparison. RESULTS A total of 6238 quantitative and 967 qualitative reviews were written for 287 physicians (236 males, 82%) across 16 websites that met inclusion criteria out of 62 websites screened. Surgeons in the SAVS region had a median of 8 (interquartile range; 7-10) profiles across 16 websites with only one surgeon having no web presence on any sites. The median number of quantitative ratings for each physician was 17 (interquartile range; 6-34, range; 1-137) and the median number of narrative reviews was 3 (interquartile range; 2-6, range; 1-28). Vitals, WebMD and Healthgrades were the only three websites where over a quarter of the physicians were rated, and those rated had more than 5 ratings on average. The median score for quantitative reviews was 4.4 (interquartile range; 4.0-4.9). Most narrative reviews (78.4%, 758/967) were positive, but 20.2% were considered negative, only 1.4% were considered equivocal. No statistical difference was found in the number of quantitative reviews or overall average score in physicians with versus without social media profiles. CONCLUSIONS Vascular representation on physician rating websites is varied with the majority of vascular surgeons only represented on the top half of the physician rating websites. The number of quantitative and qualitative reviews are low. No surgeons responded to reviews. The activity of vascular surgeons in this area of social media is low and reflects a small digital footprint that patients can reach and review.

Purpose Within a connectivist learning model, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the adoption of social media for educational purposes in India, a hitherto unexplored area of research. The basic research thrust is on students’ experiences when social media is incorporated into higher education. This research tries to gather evidence on the effectiveness of this role and its potential future role as a facilitator and enhancer of learning in the Indian system. Design/methodology/approach The current research draws on the perspectives of the students regarding the adoption of social media for educational purposes. The data collection was done in two separate stages. Stratified random sampling was applied and a structured questionnaire was sent via e-mail. Usable responses were received from 568 respondents. The second stage consisted of an exploratory qualitative study using in-depth interviews and reflections of 250 students from the original sample. Findings Four clear themes emerged from the responses collected via the structured questionnaire and particularly from the in-depth interviews. These include: widespread usage of social media, definite usage in business education, strengths of social media in business education and the flip side of learning with social media. One thing is certain: social media will continue to play an important role in the Indian education sector. A number of colleges and universities in India are including social media in their pedagogy, but the challenge lies in effectively aligning it with curriculum. Practical implications Despite the widespread use of online social media for communication and entertainment, the use in the educational sphere seems to be less. This year-long study tries to gather evidence on all these issues. No doubt social media’s contribution in the classroom depicts a rising interest in technology as a tool to assist learning but it also reinforces a paradigm shift in the way students learn. Social implications With nearly a billion people on mobile phones, the online system certainly has vast potential to create the right kind of learning. As this study has shown at a micro-level, technology-led reach and easy access is bringing about a socio-economic difference in the lives of Indian learners. While this study certainly supports digital learning in India it points out that higher educational institutions are yet to exploit its full advantage for better student engagement. Originality/value One key characteristic of this generation is that they are very education oriented. Due to the relative freshness of the approach in India and fairly restricted use in the Indian higher education system, empirical studies are limited and the impact of social media on student engagement in the higher education system in India is not known.
