'''Facebook''' (stylized '''facebook''') is a [[liberal]]-promoted [[social networking]] website that profits by exploiting personal information in users' profiles, and by advertising.  Users can spend, or indeed waste, their time on it in a variety of ways: by uploading pictures (typically of themselves), by gossiping about others, by talking to friends, by interfering with marriages and personal relationships, and by acting like a [[busybody]].  Facebook use is correlated with underachievement in school and disruption of social relationships, such as marriage.  For many teenagers, Facebook use replaces healthier activities and gatherings.
