The Privacy Issues section only has ''one'' source, and that AllExperts page looks out of date... For example, it says only people with a valid school-email address (or from certain other organizations) may sign up, not true anymore... Also un-sourced: "Facebook refuses to admit that its privacy settings that apparently allow only "friends" to see certain information are completely bogus and can easily be cracked by people with little to no hacking experience. Instead, Facebook actually encourages young users to only allow "friends" to see certain information, rather than just warning them that what they post can be seen by the world and to not post what they wouldn't want people to see."

Has anyone ever thought to create a Conservapedia Facebook account? JY23 20:57, 20 September 2008 (EDT)

Concerns

Wouldn't it be appropriate to mention that the privacy controls on Facebook are much better than on other networking sites? The article as it stands makes it sound like anyone's personal information will be available for everyone on the internet to see (as with MySpace), but in truth under the default privacy settings it would only be viewable by people in the same university or network, and privacy levels for every item can be customized. The Bob Jones article about employers using Facebook to research applicants does not seem to take this into consideration either, which makes me question its reliability as a source. The article is completely devoid of details (which employers are doing it), and seems not to notice that it would be mostly impossible for an employer to do this on Facebook.
I'm giving this one 48 hours for debate, and will trim the "concerns" section accordingly if no one objects. JDWpianist 17:49, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

Done. JDWpianist 16:50, 20 May 2009 (EDT)
Okay, but that's like saying using a condom while being promiscuous is less risky than not using one. It's still risky (among other things).
If there's a social networking website with less risk (and higher morals), let's identify and promote it. --Ed Poor Talk 15:20, 5 August 2009 (EDT)

Privacy

The Privacy Issues section only has one source, and that AllExperts page looks out of date... For example, it says only people with a valid school-email address (or from certain other organizations) may sign up, not true anymore... Also un-sourced: "Facebook refuses to admit that its privacy settings that apparently allow only "friends" to see certain information are completely bogus and can easily be cracked by people with little to no hacking experience. Instead, Facebook actually encourages young users to only allow "friends" to see certain information, rather than just warning them that what they post can be seen by the world and to not post what they wouldn't want people to see."
