Recently, I came across several posts in my news feed about some students requiring likes on their Facebook pages to pass a course. What's worse is that a lot of these students from a leading university are even spamming groups like the WWE Bangladesh for simple Facebook likes. What are the ramifications of such policies? For starters, fake engagement is extremely cheap in Bangladesh and I highly doubt someone who grades students based on likes will be able to identify fake profiles from his entire batch. Ask anyone in digital advertising or the content sphere whether this is a sustainable method of doing business in 2017. If we're going to teach an entire generation of students to market by spamming people, we shouldn't be surprised when advertisements invade our privacy more and more each day.
