That runs along the lines of your kid not telling strangers that they're home alone or a babysitter.

Then when I really started doing research of how this company can stay in business and have a business model where they don't charge the customer or derive the income off a user, only advertisers...I perked up and read more. Everyone needs to understand that they are mining the information on the site and are deriving income from advertising based on the information they know about you. Big brother and many more are watching. Very scary. So set you profile private. Big deal they still got alllll your information stored in a database. They also have your ip address, your computer address, etc etc. ONE halfway decent hacker is going in there one day and is going to infect tens of millions of people with a virus...or steal the database.

Yes I've heard people say put false information in there...well then why are you there in the first place if I can't look you up with your own name

I dumped facebook. Unfortunately they still got my information. I guarantee they did not delete it. It's been saved and stored in some computer or backup somewhere.

This online fraud and criminal bull%$%$%$%$ is wrong.
every site does the same thing, it's easy to read your browser cache. safest way to protect yourself is to not plug in your computer
