I wonder how many people have been burgled just because they posted something on facebook??

I know someone who was burgled by putting a post saying he had a great evening.

I think some miss the point about Facebook, I post mainly to family, friends etc like a lot do, you either like and use it or you don't. The millions of people who use it are not all posting banal crap. some of us don't, we are careful what we say and were we post. Some days there is more banal crap posted on here then on face book. Right that's my opinion posted,   (I am off to put my cheese on toast under the grill LOL, (joke))

Hmmm.. By the sound of it that someone didn't understand how to change the privacy settings on Facebook. Many people I know adjust the settings so that only your friends and family can see what you post, things are therefore not public to all and sundry.

Any of your friends that are not up to speed will leave the security open for others to see.

I myself am a non-user of either sites but let us suppose that the Facebook & Twitter figures quoted by Helen Aaron are inaccurate and that only 1% use these Social Media sites, that would still give figures of 220,000 for Facebook and 3,200,000 for Twitter. When you consider the purpose for which the CC intends to use these sites, that’s not insubstantial numbers (IMO). 

I hope Facebook owned WhatsApp users are fully aware of what is going to happen on September 25.

WhatsApp’s plans to "share user information"—including phone numbers, contact lists, and usage data—with parent company Facebook on that date. You didn't know anything about it? You really have to watch Facebook like a hawk.

Here is a way to opt out before it's too late.
