I avoid facebook (and other social networks) for two reasons.

1. they changed their privacy policy to allow them to sell your private data to anyone. I value my privacy.

I'm unfortunately stuck having an account due to some organizations with which I'm associated having it as an official channel of communication.
This message used to be meaningful.

You should still make one then lock it... (this will keep someone from pretending to be you, some people have actually lost their jobs because someone made a fake account of them)

so you are basically telling us that we should make a account on every social network?

Just the relevant ones that people actually use

Facebook, myspace (not Furryspace personals or anything like that)

thats ridiculous. Anyone of importance in my life has my cell number and one of two email addresses, depending on importance of the person. Social networking sites are fine, but official lines of communication? What happens if facebook goes down? All work stops? Thats silly.

I am forced to have a facebook page. But it is the companies not mine.

I am soo surprised out deep they go to mine information out of you.

You mean my name and any possible permutation of it which could be identified as me? And thus make it impossible for anyone with the same name to use facebook?

When someone wants to impersonate me online there is, sadly, not much I can do to prevent it. There are more ways than just the countless social networks. Blogs, private homepages...

All I can do is to avoid giving people any critical private information which could be used to impersonate me believeably. Like not posing it all over the net on social networks.

Facebook allows identical names, though, doesn't it? It'd be dumb if it didn't.

Facebook is just creepy... I got an invitation by someone. And in this very invitation there were suggestions of people I might know!!! HTF?! They linked me to three different people I actually knew. One of them was...one of the tmw devs. Don't remember who it was. And I only recognised the picture. I didn't even know his real name. And all they had was my email address, because the guy inviting me knew it. I did not even have his email address...And I doubt I ever wrote a PM to him on the forums...well...and I don't know how they knew I know the other two. They didn't even have a connection with each other either.

Well, I have been registered on facebook once. but only for a very short while. And I didn't even have those three people in my contacts then...


I'd be very careful... :roll:
