I guess it happens to be the vernacular of today; one day it is MySpace, and the next everyone has moved to something else. As far I can remember though, these social networking sites have had problems with privacy issues and the security of their users profiles. I have heard many stories of profiles being hacked into and tampered with to make the person look like an idiot. Then, there is always the horror stories of the people who have kids who use these sites, and their kids being tracked and molested after being lured out into a real life encounter. These sites also have a bunch of privacy flaws in themselves. For one, they never automatically install privacy updates that protect your user protection. This keeps kids and other users unprotected. The point is, always check your privacy settings and make sure weird people can’t access your page or gather any of your information for bad purposes. I use an anonymous proxy to take the risk out of it for me, I just turn it on and it activates all of the privacy applications I would ever need! FaceBook is a big growing service today.
