What are the negative consequences of sites like facebook, if any?

Anything you post can be viewed by anyone at anytime.if you say something offensive or threatening its posted for the world to read.got a stalker?now they can keep tabs on you

Isn’t it still human interaction when there is more than one human involved?

I loathe the existence of these sites.

I usually don’t like friends of friends

Some people are forgetting to live their lives instead of posting “What am I doing now”
I have always thought of telling the people,I see on the phone at a restaurant, theater or social gathering if the person who you’re on the phone with is so important to you “WHY” are you not with them instead of being here.

there is a world out there?

nah

@TominLasVegas Not everything you post on FaceBook is viewable to everyone. Facebook provides many privacy options and even different privacy options for even each individual post. Facebook is actually very secure. Depends how you use it.

Anything you say can and will be used against you. So post wisely.

Negatives:

- I have to listen to everyones crap daily.
– People seem to upload baby pictures all the time. No one gives a crap about your ugly baby.. lol
– People I hate and try to avoid in real life can find me.
– Its a great place to find many additional annoying people around the world.
– Facebook has way to much notifications, especially for new apps.

I wish there was a way to include some of your facebook friends in an “inner circle.” It seems like if you’re on facebook, you’re obligated to add someone even if they’re just an acquaintance that you don’t really care about. I don’t want to hear all the inane thoughts of everyone on my facebook, but I do care what’s going on in the lives of my close friends.

My other problem with facebook is that it’s unhealthy to sit around on the internet reading about all the cool stuff your friends did that you aren’t doing, like going to Italy, getting a new car, building a house or whatever it happens to be. In order to use facebook, you have to be sitting around using the internet instead of out there doing things.

@Haleth – You could always add everyone you want, then block people from showing up on your news feed like I do. 90% of the people in my list are blocked.

@pjanaway You seem very bitter about facebook in general. Why even have an account?

@ItalianPrincess1217 – Family and close friends i’m on it for. They only account for less than 10% of the people I know :p

@pjanaway Dont you wish you could secretly just delete the other 90%. I wish I could. I’m always getting all these random people I graduated high school with requesting to be my friend. I feel guilty if I deny them. But when I accept the request and never even exchange a “hey, how’s life” with them but constantly have to read their posts, it’s annoying!

@ItalianPrincess1217 – Actually the past 3 weeks I have been deleting 1 person a day, in a kind of random lucky dip. lol

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy posting facebook rhymes.

I’m with @uberbatman and I would’ve chosen the same wording.

Aside from the obvious too much information and the potential for abuses, I am enjoying seeing my old buddies popping up…it’s riot like watching old movies!!.

I have friends and family that live thousands of miles away from me. I interact with them more because of Facebook. We get to share photos and say hello now and then, something that I usually didn’t do before because I hate talking on the phone and I’m too lazy to send pics in the mail. I’ve found friends that I haven’t seen in 20+ years. The positives far outweigh the negatives for me.

Not everyone uses Facebook to tell the world what they are doing every moment of their life. Like Twitter. I hate Twitter

That website has so much of youre info ><

I see no point in using it. It’s like willingly participating in the invasion of my own privacy. I have no desire to trumpet my achievements to the world or reveal personal information to any random potential stalker. Privacy is far more important to me than popularity. Any information you post can be accessed and used against you. I really see not reason for it to exist. People that you wish to communicate with can be provided with your e-mail address, all that is really necessary

your boss request to be your friend and really find out why you called out Monday morning.
