I worked for a junk mail firm years ago - unbelievable how much they knew about everyone back then.

I would never participate in facebook

It is highly likely that all that info is being harvested by people who really dont have your best interests at heart

and you can never get that info back

Thanks Dorian. You confused me with the new DdW moniker. This is a second family for me, and the teenage years are pretty calm with this one…but we keep track, and talk and share and participate, anyway, just in case.

And, yes I did notice the , but there are those who would say that seriously.

Tidbits, I hope you noticed my

I have had two teenagers, a long time ago, before Facebook, Twitter, iPhone, etc., etc., and quite well understand and appreciate the problems and issues facing parents today.

You have my every support—and commiseration

DdW, you surmised “Some will say, I assume, even teenagers have privacy.”

You're probably right, some would say that. The view in our house is that we are not the government, and the right to privacy is tempered by parental responsibility.

Thanks for posting this, Dorian. There is one downside. Our almost 16 year old recently enabled the privacy settings. Now my wife can't check up anymore by following Facebook communications.

Good information. Thanks.

Interesting that it was Google that exposed the Abu Garib fiasco by looking at emails.

I find it better to have a facebook id, that has nothing to do with my real name) and a blank page. You need the id to navigate facebook, but there is no reason to put a real profile out there.

Big brother is watching..collecting data..following your Navi signal…tapping your phone…I'm not at all paranoid. I'm just an IP address.
