Their business strategy is collecting and selling personal information.

They are getting into facial recognition software and any pictures uploaded to their site or anywhere (public) can be tagged and put in a database.

You also can never really delete any information you post either.

“Their business strategy is collecting and selling personal information.”

Exactly.

I truly can’t believe all the information people are freely giving up to this website - pictures, names of family members, addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, job and office locations...Hell, you might as well give them your SSN and credit card numbers! Smart thieves are mining this data every day.

If you must go there, do this:
-create a Google/Hotmail/yahoo account with NO PERSONAL INFORMATION.
-sign up for a Facebook account with equally fictitious information, using the above email address.
-post NOTHING personal.

Remember, the internet is FOREVER.
