Facebook is a very powerful online social networking that is used by more than 200 countries in the world. Many of our friends and family make Facebook to interact and keep in touch with each other. I use this website daily myself to view my friends photo's and profiles. Facebook can be a great entertainment but also dangerous in many ways.
Almost anyone in the world could view your information if it was not protected by users. Many stalkers or advertisers would be able to access your information and do anything they wanted with it. Some people may think, "oh that's alright, it's just a simple picture!". This one picture could potentially be sent all over the world and saved on computers. Who knows what people would do with your picture? They could also post your picture anywhere they wanted and on any website which could be seen by anyone.
The internet is just like walking out of your house, many dangerous things can happen. If you do not control your privacy many wrong things can happen with your information. Although, there are ways to protect your information, especially on Facebook. Most websites have options that allow you to limit who can view your profile and what information they can see from you.
Personally, I do not like to post much information or photos on Facebook, so I limit who can access my profile and also who can view my photos. Also, I would not post personal contact information on any social networking website because anyone could potentially access the information.
When you're information is safely taken care of, social network sites can be really fun and entertaining! There's no need to be scared of stalkers if your information is safe. So go out there and enjoy social networking!
