1. No one is 'morphing' anything, you are just trying to set up strawmen, since your defense of FB as a REAL value is shot to pieces by the Market. 2. Yes, those on FB would find something else to do

Because a lot of people would be effected, the world wouldn't.

The World has about 6 billion people in it.

3. Never said FB had no use, I said it had no REAL use.

The fact that many people are on FB doesn't prove that it has any real value.

It only shows that it is popular.

4. Never said it was only for entertainment, clearly you either have a hard time reading.

I said it's primary use was entertainment.

The other uses are relatively small in comparison to people simply talking about themselves.

5. You use examples that have nothing to do with the ESSENTIAL value of FB.

That SOME items can get sold on FB doesn't mean anything in comparison to the fact that FB is MOSTLY for individuals to talk about what is going on in their daily lives, things that most people could care about.

Clear enough yet?

Now, you can keep posting the nonsense you want about FB social uses, but that doesn't change the fact that FB is simply a popular social network that means very little in the real world.

And for every positive you list about FB, there is also a negative regarding privacy concerns and to children.

But you keep posting your nonsense, I will be here to refute it with the truth-sparky.

Colombian courts on Thursday sentenced two men to over 25 years in prison for the murder of university student Ana Maria Chavez Niño, reported Colombian media.

Juan Sebastian Obando and John Anderson Sierra were found guilty of homicide and theft, each receiving a sentence of 25 years, two months and three days in prison.

The murder took place in November 2009 in the Quinta Paredes neighborhood in Bogota, after the convicted men reportedly made contact with Chavez Niño through Facebook.

According to reports, the crime took place when the victim invited Obando and Sierra into her home, after they won her trust through the social networking website.

The convicted men will serve their sentence in the Modelo prison in Bogota.

This is Very Important

Facebook allows everyday people to share the minutiae of their daily lives with trusted friends and family, to easily distribute photos and videos - if you use it regularly you know how it has made a very real impact on families and social groups that used to communicate very infrequently. Accessible social networking technology changes communication between people in a way similar to if not as intensely as the introduction of the telephone and the printing press. It changes the fabric of peoples’ lives together. 350 million people signed up for Facebook under the belief their information could be shared just between trusted friends. Now the company says that’s old news, that people are changing. I don’t believe it.

I think Facebook is just saying that because that’s what it wants to be true.

Whether less privacy is good or bad is another matter, the change of the contract with users based on feigned concern for users’ desires is offensive and makes any further moves by Facebook suspect

Still laughing?

Don't change my arguments to make yourself appear better.

Whatever uses FB has other then merely etertainment, are countered by many negatives as well.

So, no one has 'morphed' anything, you just want to read what you want to read and hope no one can see your arguments are full of hot air.

So when you see a kid sitting in front of his TV/computer and clicking away on his controller/keyboard he is in fact becoming proficient at interfacing with the training tools of the 21st century.

Yes, the children have gotten very asute with technology, but have never learned to read or think.

"And for every positive you list about FB, there is also a negative regarding privacy concerns and to children."

Ahhh The Privacy Boogie man.

Let me give you a wakeup call Sparky. Facebook markets data on what you choose to be interested in (What you like and talk about) this is nothing new. Direct Marketing has been sharing your info for years/ Jc Penny Sears Radio Shack etc. Nothing new. And all this concern that Facebook will share that info with the Gub'ment is really hilarious when you consider that the FEDGOV built into the system the ultimate in Privacy Violation. Its called CALEA (Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act) all ISPs in the USA must be CALEA complient which means ALL info flowing through your ISP account is at the fingertips of the FEDGOV and they can get it for any reason they choose.

Bottom line they don't need Facebook to get your info. They already have it with the flick of a switch.

But hey they can get you to focus on the Privacy Boogie Man so you won't notice they are perusing your info at will. (See, Obummer brokered a deal with the RIAA/MPAA that allows them to have your ISP throttle or Disconnect your account if the RIAA/MPAA "ACCUSES" you of illegal downloading. And they have they right to monitor your account at will.

Hope you got your Wireless Server security set for Mac Address recognition only (and even that can be hacked) because if some Wardriver hacks your Router and downloads it won't be him that loses his account it will be you. But Hey lets all worry whether Facebook is Sharing your info with Wal-Mart cuz yeah THAT IS THE REAL PRIVACY concern.

BTW hacking a Wireless router is about as hard as fixing a flat tire. You just need the proper tools which are FREE on the internet. A few programs and a Wireless Enabled laptop and about an hour of time and you can hack 90% (or more) of the Wireless Networks in the USA.

The RIAA/MPAA knows this and So does the Government. BUT they are now going to monitor everyone's ISP account to see if Illegal downloading is going on on it and punish any such activity. Problem is there is no courts involved You just get punished if the RIAA/MPAA accuses you.

But Facebook is the Real Privacy worry right? hahahaha

[fortheDeclaration]

Prove it. Also Facebook is way more than you anti-facebook/twitter snobs make it out to be.

I don't have to prove anything.

The numbers prove it.

With hundreds of millions of users, a relatively few use for some useful purpose.

The overwhelming majority use it for mere social interaction.

That you can point to some actual valuable use, doesn't make FB an actual real benefit to society, and for every positive you can dream up, there is a negative to go with it.

[Eye of Unk]

The trend in the near will be just how good a person can stay hidden. To stay unnoticed, not tracked.

If the POTUS can have a manufactured past without vetting then so must all of America.

[fortheDeclaration]

Hey you can use FB all you want, but don't delude yourself that it has real value, like the light bulb

It is mostly for people to talk about triva aspects about their lives.

And FB isn't at all like FR.

[fortheDeclaration]

Oh, so privacy issues aren't real?

Who are you trying to kid!

'They' have your family photos?

[Mad Dawgg]

Very interesting, but there is one minor problem with you article.

Its wrong. You can choose what info is shared by how you enter and then set your permissions. No Date on the Article but being they are talking about 350 Million Accounts tells us its several years old.

And once again, your wrong. hahahaha

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told a live audience this weekend that the world has changed, that it’s become more public and less private, and that the controversial new default and permanent settings reflect how the site would work if he were to create it today. Not everyone agrees with his move and its justification.

0diggHas society become less private or is it Facebook that’s pushing people in that direction? Is privacy online just an illusion anyway? Below are some thoughts, based primarily on the pro-privacy reactions to Zuckerberg’s statements from many of our readers this weekend. Though there is a lot to be said for analysis of public data (more on that later), I believe that Facebook is making a big mistake by moving away from its origins based on privacy for user data.

By pushing your personal information and conversation through activity updates fully into the public, Facebook is eliminating any integrity of context that these conversations would naturally have. Posted updates can be directed only to limited lists of Facebook contacts, like college buddies or work friends, but that option is buried under more public default options and much of a user’s activity on the site is not subject to that kind of option.

Had you looked you could see the actual date.

The fact is that privacy issues on FB are a real concerns to people who can think.

So once again, it is you who is wrong.

[Mad Dawgg]

"'They' have your family photos?"

OK and so does Photobucket, and tinypic and flickr and Phtoshleter etc.

And on all this sites just like Facebook you can set your permissions on who sees what.

See you don't use Facebook yet you claim to know how it works. And proves you wrong yet again! hahahah

How would they have them if you didn't post them.

We are talking about FB, not other social media outlets.

Family Law and Facebook - The Death of Privacy
By Anthony M. Zezima posted in Family Law on Wednesday, March 7, 2012

Remember your parents’ house, with the wall full of pictures of children, grandchildren, ancestors, and other family and friends? Remember when your sister’s diary was locked and stuffed under her mattress? Well those two memories have come together in today’s society - it’s called Facebook. It will now be a significant factor in all family law matters.

If you use Facebook as a regular method of sharing personal information about your life with family and friends, as well as sharing photos of what is going on in your life, you need to be aware of how this information, put out on the internet, can come back to haunt you. We used to have family gatherings where we gossiped about everyone and shared stories about our exploits and foibles. Now we have Facebook. Do you think that somewhat harmless story you told about drinking and partying all weekend, accompanied by photos of you glassy eyed and downing another beer, will be so funny on Monday when you get called into the office of your supervisor to explain.

What about that offhand remark you made about your best friend’s husband? It was a joke, right? Will that joke somehow come back to haunt him in a future discussion with his employer?

For those of you who think you can keep your Facebook Wall and all of your comments and photos private, simply by clicking “friends” instead of “public”, you need to wake up to today’s world of the death of privacy. Family Law cases involving Facebook are increasing exponentially. Those matters that you thought were private, or long forgotten, are coming back to haunt you in your divorce, custody, visitation, and child support litigation.

If you think that your Facebook page is private, you should know that employers, government agencies, and school officials are now asking for your Facebook password, or that your supervisor be accepted as your “friend” so that they can monitor all of those private entries on your Facebook page. How many of you have “friended” a co-worker, fellow student, supervisor, former spouse, coach, or some other person who may have reason to question your behavior outside of the environment that they see you regularly? Would you let them into your home to see the photos on the wall? Sure. Would you have let them read your diary? I don’t think so.

Social networking can be fun, and it is addictive. What you need to understand is that it can be dangerous. It can put an end to your privacy, and can do so much more harm than that.
