According to a new report which takes a giant leap for mankind, social networking sites such as Facebook are making it easier for people to have causal sex and spread the STD. UK’s Telegraph reports:
Professor Peter Kelly, director of public health in Teesside, claimed staff had found a link between social networking sites and the spread of the bacteria, especially among young women. “There has been a fourfold increase in the number of syphilis cases detected with more young women being affected. I don’t get the names of people affected, just figures, and I saw that several of the people had met sexual partners through these sites. Social networking sites are making it easier for people to meet up for casual sex.”
A Facebook spokesman said: “The assertion that Facebook is responsible for the transmission of syphilis is ridiculous. Facebook is no more responsible for STD transmission than newspapers responsible for bad vision. Today’s reports exaggerate the comments made by the professor, and ignore the difference between correlation and causation. As Facebook’s more than 400 million users know, our website is not a place to meet people for casual sex – it’s a place for friends, family and co-workers to connect and share.”
In other news, Facebook also has been linked to blindness for making people look at computer screens too long, arthritis for making them type too much and the high unemployment rate by giving not smart people a way to air their dirty laundry.
