I have personally lost contact with a few people because of this. I really don't care who is sat in a hottub with champagne, or who ate 3 pieces of cake. I also believe children are supposed to be 13 before they can have an account on facebook, but I know of many much younger, including one 5 year old and her mother has put photos of her dressed like a 20 year old, makeup, pouting, the lot, very dangerous in my opinion.
Not only very dangerous, but very stupid and irresponsible.
I don't know if anybody watched the programme on BBC a week or so ago about Facebook, and the cyber-bullying that goes on, the threats, the horrific posts about people who have recently died and even young people taking their own lives because they'd been made fun of or threatened on there but, although I'd already of these things going on, I was still sickened.
I would never dream of going onto any social networking site becase you DO have to give your real name on there and photograph(?). I'm sure most people are perfectly normal, but it's a haven for paedophiles, cranks, skanks, crazies, cyber-bullies and downright nasty folk.
It's NOT as private as you want it to be because Facebook Admin keeps a log of every single member and their personal details.
I agree with Carmen in that emails are much safer.
There was a story in the newspaper a few years ago about two blokes arguing over a game of football (of all things). The argument got so heated that one said to the other that he'd hunt him down and kill him - and he did!

Re: Merged Facebook threads.
I'm on F.B.every day but I seldom talk to anyone as I only play Farmville and Fishville. Also I didn't fill in any personal details.......if you don't add it then it can't be used or abused. I've also got everything set to Contacts only, not friends of friends, or open to everyone.04-04-2012, 04:35 PM

Re: Merged Facebook threads.
I know that people have complained about being approached by people when they have been playing games on FB. Also by saying that only certain people can view your page or whatever it is you are saying you trust FB's security which I don't and never will. For all you know half the world can view it.

You do not have to provide a photo, nor do you have to fill in details of where you went to school etc., but I just found that it was not at all easy to know if you were talking to one person, a group, or the entire world
that bothered me, and when I changed computers I stopped logging in, I can't say I have missed it.

There is no such thing as a 'free lunch' and there is no such thing as a 'free social network' if there was Mark Zuckerberg would not be on the verge of pocketing $billions

Re: Merged Facebook threads.
Personally I think Facebook is fine. Google is far more reprehensible as regards privacy issues in my opinion.The only common detail I object to sharing is date of birth because one of the first thing utilities/Centrelink etc ask to prove your ID is ask your date of birth so it is something not for social networks.
