The “thinking” nowadays is if you don’t have a Facebook account you are a psychopath and a potential mass murderer. Definitely antisocial. Some companies now will not hire a person without a Facebook page.

I do not have a Facebook page since there is a lot about me that is “need to know “.

I assure you, the people who care to know do know exactly the same amount of information about any of us.

How about “none of your business” as a answer....

Or perhaps the name of a Vietnamese friend: Phuc Hue.

If they have your password, they can impersonate you and put incriminating things in your profile.

When asked what he meant by "internal use," Mr. Boisvert said that police station does not require people to write down their password in the application, but they do require people to log into their profile and allow people to read through it.

Not only illegal, but also illegal on another level - anyone doubt that there is a key-logger on the computer they provide for folks to login to their facebook accounts? Once the person leaves, they retrieve the password and write it i themselves.
