Think You Know?

Facebook isn't bad...... You can always puts your Fb on private and not give too much detail. It also depend on who you add. A friend or a random person.

there lies the problem. People are too stupid to hide their details and facebook does nothing about it - it encourages people to add more about themselves!

put too much on, and someone could find out where you live, or even steal your identity.

More of a problem there,People want more likes on their status and other bs so they will choose not to make it private,and even if it is private,who says one of your close "Friends" can't Post that Information out...

exactly.

basically dont post anything real about you in the forum or the chatbox. At the most, only mention your country or origin or large city, nothing more.

unlike other sites... e.g facebook, we dont encourage people to release personal information to the world.

FWG, that's not the problem. They have the option if they want to do that or not. Them not knowing about it, isn't really a problem. It just shows they don't care. They could've asked a friend or family member how to change their private settings to be safe. Those that don't do that, don't care.


And, with the arguement with Sphinx and Ducky, you both have a good point(i know this is late) but Ducky's was a bit better. Yeah, the mods were being a complete hyprocrite with the post your picture topic, then this, but that's not a rare event where that happens. xD Though, what ducky said, it is actually extremely hard to track someone with JUST their picture. and nothing else. But, Sphinc had a really good point. Made me kind of disgusted with myself and others too, since i did comment on it numerous times. ._.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the perfect reason not to make a facebook profile.
Really, people claim to have what, 1-2k friends?
This trend is getting on my nerves.
Sadly, kids today dont really understand the dangers lurking on the internet.

ya, i completely agree with shadow on the facebook thing... i deleted my own account because someone kept sending me a friend request, and i didnt even know them... it started to creep me out, and i never went back to facebook again O.o

Blu.... You can always block the user..... You're smart, why not use those stuff? o.O By the way, Facebook should have a age limit.

Did your parents told you to don't talk to strangers and don't give your personal information?

Well, for what i know they advice their children that for safety, but some of us didn't listen to our parents and we disobeyed them even though we knew from the start that it was for our own sake and at the end something bad happen to us.

I am not telling not to make some new friends but I am telling that we should
"THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK"

It's just a free advice take it or leave it?

Mmm, what you said it true bruv but some people do think before hey click and still do what is not right. You never know what the outcome can be unless you observe it carefully. People could seem to be lying to you but insdie they're telling the truth. People could be tellling you the truth... They could be telling the truth and inside, lying to you.

Well, your right but if you have a brain you will think before you do something.

Facebook DOES have an official age limit. But that doesn't prevent younger people from joining.

Joining fb is a personal choice you just have o be careful. But most people i know go on added people as friends although they don't know them.

the problem is, the target audience of fb is everyone, including stupid kids who know no better than to add anyone and everyone, just to get their 'friends' numbers up. It is a sad situation and I hope to see it end one day. Death to FB!
