What you put on Facebook is up to you. If you put your SSN, address, phone number, bank account information, questionable or incriminating photos and criminal background history on there, it is your own fault. If you put little info other than your name and G rated photos to share with friends and family, there is nothing to see. It is all how you use it. It certainly can be destructive if you choose to make it that way, but it can also be a great tool. I disagree that it is intrinsically evil.
I agree. My younger relatives no longer use email. They communicate thru facebook private messaging. I have been put back in contact with people I hadn’t heard from in years. It just depends on how you use it. And that you set your privacy settings correctly.
