Whether it is Facebook 'like' or Twitter 'follower' people have no shortage of interest. Who is a big celebrity or a much more popular product? Their judgment comes by the number of like nowadays. These likes are sold quite cheaply.
Facebook is going to be about 10 years old. It is the world's largest social networking site. And different trade businesses depend on this Facebook. Not only, Zuckerberg, but also almost all the big companies around the world are taking the facility of Facebook. Hollywood, Bollywood is also not lagging behind either.
The funny thing is many people are buying ‘fake likes’ to aim at a strong position of themselves on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social networking sites. It is also sold at a very cheap rate on the Internet. However, it harms the morality of the organizations or the stars.
Security expert and blogger of Italy Andrea Stropa and Carla D. Malayali estimated that many organizations had earned about 40 to 230 million U.S. dollars by selling fake Twitter ‘follower’ in 2013. This number is about 200 million for Facebook. Not only like, but also many organizations are buying click for their website or video with money.
Foreign Ministry is also in the list of purchasing like with the money. Facebook like a number is more than four million. This ministry has spent a few million dollars to increase their like number. In 2013, U.S. Foreign Ministry’ Facebook page was the most popular in Cairo.
U.S. news agency Associated Press (AP) said in a report that Bangladesh's capital Dhaka is the international center for ‘like’ or ‘click’ trade.
Saiful Islam, CEO of Unique IT World of Dhaka City said that he spent money on his client so that they can have like in their social networking page. For this reason, it is quite difficult to identify ‘fake like’ for Facebook, Twitter or Google. Saiful Islam claimed, ''the account from which this like or click is done, they are not fake; they are real.''
It is known from the latest Facebook figures that many sites are the most popular in Dhaka city. The page of Football stars Lionel Messi, nearly has 51 million fans on Facebook. This page is most popular in Dhaka Similarly, Facebook’s own safety page and Google’s Facebook page is most popular in Dhaka in terms of ‘like’.
However, it should not be thought that most of the popular Facebook or Twitter page is filled with a fake like. Rather there can be some logical or convincing reason behind like rising. ‘Burger King’ can be an example of it. This fast-food chain's Facebook page was the most popular in Karachi, Pakistan for a few weeks. Basically, after being introduced with some of the branches of ‘Burger King’ this happened.
It is to be noted that millions of new 'like ' has been added to All Bangla Newspaper's Facebook page in the last one month. According to Facebook Insight, the main source of like is page suggestion. Basically, several reports regarding the current political situation of Bangladesh, of the Deutsche Vale’s Facebook page, related to extensive discussions with this increase.
