I am reading a murder story, centred around Twitter, which I don't use ( LOL can you imagine me usingg anything that requires using so few words ;-) ), and pondering generally on internet security and privacy, so was somewhat concerned to read a few things that popped up on my news feed today on FB. |

I think many people are completely unaware that FB is so public |

Rosie, you and I are in one of the genealogy groups but we are not 'friends' . However I have just checked and I can see your time line and your photos - lovely one of the grocer's shop :-D |

The ones who concern me are the ones like my sister who often post when they are away and when they are returning. she used to have her privacy set to 'friends' and friends of friends' I pointed out that that could go on ad infinitum, so she did at least change that. |

I hate facebook - my son has suffered dreadfully because of facebook - thankfully after seven months anguish it's coming to an end - he never goes on it now |

Cynthia, I can see the pics you have used for your cover and profile pics, and that we have 5 mutual friends...guess who lol. There's no reason why you're not also my 'friend' on there and you're welcome to be anytime :-) blink and you'd miss what I post on my own timeline, it's usually photos of flowers or cats with some photos of ancestors and the odd 'political' post or petition ;-) |

Without facebook I would not have half the contact I do have with the younger members of my family, Son is not on there but daughter is, and Grandchildren, sister, Great nieces etc. I also have friends who are ex GR who I would not speak to otherwise. There are posts I don't like but those are easily ignored, we can't all have the same views on any subject. It is also useful for the local groups, there is one on our village and the next one devoted to keeping them safer. So warnings about burglaries, wandering white van men etc. then there is the nostalgia group from my home town, and one full of photographs past and present of the same town. There is so much good on there. But I am aware that there can be a lot that is not good. sorry your son has been affected Ann. |
