This article makes us all aware of the dangers surrounding the use of face book. It is a social networking site that should be fun not something which leaves us feeling scared or intimidated. Stalking is scary issue that can lead to terrifying consequences.
Facebook have a policy on privacy that can be found on the following link
http://http://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php Personally though I feel the site is not really as supportive to individuals who find themselves feeling under threat in any way. It also has lots of children who use the site on a regular basis. I was amazed when my twelve year old had a huge protest with me over not letting him use the site. I told him he had to be eighteen and that he had to prove to me that all his friends were on it. I signed onto it myself and we searched well over a dozen of his mates and to my surprise they were all active users with photos videos of themselves and younger siblings and even announcing to the world when they were going on holiday! Why not put up a poster and say hey come and burgle my house as we are in Spain for two weeks.
Surely facebook should filter this information......
