Abstract
The author aims at the functions served by Facebook among the Vlax Roms in Leicester. She pays attentions on the ways in which Facebook profiles of the Roms reflect social structure of the Vlax community in Leicester, how they mirror the community's social structure, and Facebook links together its individual members.
She discusses Facebook as a platform for presentation of the Roms' social upward mobility and of their ostentatious flaunting of status symbols, as well as an active tool of social control.
