The most dangerous person on Facebook is the Facebook user. Pretty much the same thing could be said substituting the name MySpace. Privacy issues on Facebook are huge, partly from the company's apparent attitudes toward privacy and partly for the failure of users to take advantage of the privacy controls Facebook provides. If you're a user or know a user of social networking sites ... any social networking site ... these two articles on Facebook and on MySpace should be mandatory reads. The Internet doesn't follow the maxim of "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas." It's more like, "what happens on the Internet may follow you around for a very long time and may prevent you from getting a job or career that you want and may even make it easy for an identity thief to leave you in misery."
Sadly, privacy is pretty much history, anyway.
