[a5110815]

It can manipulate the ppl.

[Jeeperz74]

Facebook is pure cancer and leads to the downfall of society.

[sanilaxc]

I do agree with that.

[aleksahart]

Totally agree on that

[Impulseboy]

This is true. If it wasn't for socializing and connecting with family and old friends, I would have deleted my account years ago. That said, I think it is up to the account owner as to how he uses Facebook. Most of the time I just stay away from Facebook pages.

You can connect to your family and friends via emails (send pictures, videos, text messages). Paid email service will give you more storage space to send videos etc..

I don't think so, Facebook is also a big help for most of us, yes it can be used by criminals. but we cannot avoid those criminals or bad persons within this society there is always be a bad person all over the world. Facebook is also a big help for us to advertise what we want to share and what we want to express. It can also help some people who want to see their long-lost relatives. Some other are using Facebook to have their own business.

[Impulseboy]

You can connect to your family and friends via emails (send pictures, videos, text messages). Paid email service will give you more storage space to send videos etc..

That is true, but a lot of them just now use Facebook instead of sending emails because Facebook offers convenience especially when sharing a photo or a video to everyone they know. However I still keep in touch with a few friends via email, but not a lot anymore. All (no) thanks to Facebook.

[lioata]

Facebook is a social network widely on facebook, it has many forms of fraud on facebook, you should be careful with this

[LouisFreeman]

i'm fully agree with you because it has proved.

[Olivia S]

Yes, it collects all your date, everything that you like or passing buy are count. You can not get even a 1% of the money which they are making on selling your data to someone:)

[busabos]

Yes I agree to this statement. A lot of people wasted a lot of their valuable times just to sneak in other people's life. Although some make friends using facebook but also made enemies just for simple comment on facebook. Facebook also making our life vulnerable by posting our everyday activities, criminals use this as an advantage.

[ZacharyHood]

fully agree with you because a lot of criminal work are happens through this..

[Bobby_C_Lebaron]

facebook is the worst thing ever found

[First77]

fully agree with you because a lot of criminal work are happens through this..

[Viewpoint56]

We are trapped in it .

[PinkCities58]

i think the man got a point.

[QualifiedDraft25]

no other way. we all love facebook

[MosaicRack14]

holy moly. am i sitting on a nuclear bomb by using facebook?  

[ElianaMaria]

Facebook is pure cancer and leads to the downfall of society.

 

This is a bit much, but I would not say it has improved society as a whole, maybe family relations with the connectivity and ability to see each other's lives from across the globe. On a societal level is it iffy at best.

[Red Fish]

But why you need Facebook, do not use it and no problem. If people do not like any webpage, they do not use it. Simple and easy !

[El_rancho]

Regardless how Facebook has this magnitude of impact on people's lives today, it is also one of the most
addictive and most misused technology. There's this narcissistic trend on people posting
and drawing so much attention on themselves. There's an increased number of cyber bullying. Fake news too.
Depends on the people I guess.

[Extrovert]

Probably their most in the facebook only because there are only 3 billion users, so more, and if in percentage terms, they are everywhere the same!

[ololesia]

I think you're wrong. Facebook is a safe website. Its moderators work really well

[sesmhaha]

maybe yes maybe no. just beware

[First77]

I think you're wrong. Facebook is a safe website. Its moderators work really well

Just deleted my facebook account.

[redtrus55]

Yes, various things that are prohibited and illegal must still very exist in facebook, but fortunately in this day and age, cyber police are getting smarter, a lot of people who enter jail just because ulahnya on facebook.

[sk hossin]

Facebook is known as a social network but this website is currently dangerous.various anonymous contaminated the society with bad post with a fake account.this medium is a dangerous from day by day.

[First77]

facebook is the worst thing ever found

Yesterday, facebook shares price fell -24% on DOW Jones  

https://www.marketwatch.com/story

[milkiWay45]

What nags me about Facebook most is that it's cares more about collecting your marketing data rather thatn about usability and interface. The website is absolutely inconvenient.

[KASUD36]

I'm agree with that.There is a good and bad side in every thing.But we have to use Facebook very carefully because there are many fake people

[First77]

I'm agree with that.There is a good and bad side in every thing.But we have to use Facebook very carefully because there are many fake people

Facebook = FakeBook

[Soha]

It's pretty cool bro, I found my classmates who learned with me 15 years ago by Facebook. It's take your time, ok, because you let it do so. Tons of interesting things there.

[EverydayBtc]

The danger for me in facebook is getting your identity stolen people can easily pretend someone their not because they can access easily  your info and pictures

[Nahdatullah]

Facebook is used by scammers, criminals, terrorists, cyber criminals and for all kinds of illegal activities.

Facebook is the most dangerous website on the internet.

a little confused with what you mean. but facebook is a medium that can communicate between family, friends, boyfriend and colleagues. you misunderstood facebook.

[warcarft3]

There are many criminals and fraudsters on any social platform. This is something we cannot avoid. But we can choose not to participate in these people's activities!

[Spanopohlo]

I have to disAgree, its rather the easiest,fastest and most updated source of news and articles around the world and from our friends are. Consider it as a way of communicating around with anyone around the world. If crimminals or terrorist would us this as a medium of communication then theyre in truble because privacy around this media are thin, If they are to chat, they would use ip blocking or jamming device so that they would not be interfered by outside ears. For the record, FB produces a lot of possitivity than the latter.

[Masterkai]

facebook is like fastfood, we all love the taste of it but is very bad for the health.

[MC81]

I don't think so.Facebook is a social network where the people can connected with each other.If we use fb carefully and don't accept the fake people I think everything is ok.And never share your stuff in public.

[chillin1]

I'm half agree to this. But it depends to the users of facebook. It will be dangerous if the users will sharr their personal information to the website. Example, they are not in their house. Criminals can easily know who will be the next victim. But if the users can control themselves, the facebook will be less dangerous.

[BatuNissan]

Facebook is used by scammers, criminals, terrorists, cyber criminals and for all kinds of illegal activities.

Facebook is the most dangerous website on the internet.

but do not forget.
Facebook is also used by good people, like me, you guys and lots of my friends.

[cryptotrade007]

I think that your claims are somewhat overexaggerated, however I believe that Facebook is pretty much garbage.  Unfortunately I still have an account, however, I don't use it, nor do I intend to. 

[Skydreamer19]

Yes because the child is using. and many of the same people who bite the facebook app

[GenixCrypto]

A growing number of people are using Facebook less or leaving altogether. Poisoned politics are only part of the problem

[LimeFeline]

I'm afraid of them being able to trace all your data, what sites do you visit, your personal stuff. They say it's for marketing purposes but who knows what they are up to..

[RLR]

yes it is mainly crime and torture to small children, that is often I see. it should be banned.

[Andkn3]

  This is a global garbage dump.

[kiamankudos]

i don't think facebook is the most dangerous.

[pakhitheboss]

Yes it is
It has been breaching every aspect of Privacy and the same for its other products.
it is better not to use it.
BTW nobody talks about Google.
it is better to stay away from technology I guess

[First77]

a little confused with what you mean. but facebook is a medium that can communicate between family, friends, boyfriend and colleagues. you misunderstood facebook.

I deleted my facebook account and after 5 days facebook shares price fell -20%

[Binmado]

They are the place to exchange and spread the fastest news

[Raphagalthena2]

But facebook still bring a lot of useful information, don't be so negative.

[beej]

It's not dangerous as some people claim it to be, it's quite addictive and almost everyone around
seems to be hooked with it. It's the most popular social media in this generation, people identify with
it and are quite reluctant about it. Though some people tend to be careless and reckless that they
may intentionally or unintentionally post a lot of vital stuff and information that are easily exploited.
It's like your life is an open book for everyone to read and see, in digital form.

[Naginiya]

Yeah you can say that because many people do bad things using Facebook these days

[LashondaCrews10]

with the quantity of  non-public facts uplinked to fb. it's miles a hackers dream aint it.

[vabalkazh]

Its just the tool. I dont think you would blame the gun that shot someone instead of the one who actually shot, right?

[imToken]

I think that all social software has criminals and is being used with various illegal activities. The society itself is chaotic. What we have to do is to learn to be cautious!

[raatnak]

Im not really sure about it. Its not the matter of specific site and you can find that kind of people everywhere. If there would be no Facebook, they will find smth else.

[Glamionti]

It is not Facebooks intention but more and more criminals use it for there advantage 

[thermosgrey]

Everything has positive and negative impacts, depending on how we deal with it. It is true a lot of criminality originating from facebook, that’s why we have to be vigilant and using facebook wisely.

[doditji283]

we're trapped in it .

[marapundavela]

I strongly agree with that. Very chaotic. We should be careful in what we post. Think before we click.

[arkholding]

Facebook is used by scammers, criminals, terrorists, cyber criminals and for all kinds of illegal activities.

Its upto you , if you have a knife then its totally depends on you whether to cut your hand or to cut an apple

[Pump to Moon]

I agree with you, Facebook is toxic and dagerous, i quit FB for 2 years now.

[HonourB]

As a fast growing social media, Facebook is very vast, thereby accommodating different kinds of people, it's best for everyone to be on their watch, knowing fully well that any kind of activity can take place in the social community

[dodot343]

if you go being a perv and do as you please , it becomes chance for you . they've a block choice for that.

[First77]

I agree with you, Facebook is toxic and dagerous, i quit FB for 2 years now.

That's what I am saying "stop using facebook for 2 years". Go out and see the world and sunlight and fresh air.

[macstrong12]

I know but I'm trapped somehow!
I have some people in my follow list that i want to know what is going on with them , I really want to remove it but keep telling myself "what if " hope i remove it soon.

[Menakams]

i think 50% positive effect and 50% bad effect face book.but i daily log face book.Facebook is a very popular social networking site with over eight hundred million users. As an avid user of Facebook myself, I find it hard to believe that at one point it didn't exist. In fact, it has become so much a part of people's lives that you can learn their life story just by checking their page. Their friends, likes and dislikes, relationship status, phone number, address, everything. Sounds a little dangerous. There are positive and negative effects that Facebook has on people, and they can be quite significant.

positive effect
1.Making new friends
2.learning emoney
3.fun by fb
4

The Negative Effects
1.Cyber-bullying
2.Ruined relationships
3.Distraction

[ojanamon]

I agree with you but facebook have some positive

[KIROMATH]

That is not Facebooks fault it's the people miss use and make troubling situations and it is a great site for low income people to find a living and to promote there businesses for free     

[Theldal]

what isnt dangerous? knives and forks are also danger if you go throwing them all over the place. its how they use'em

[First77]

what isnt dangerous? knives and forks are also danger if you go throwing them all over the place. its how they use'em

With 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 facebook users, it is like throwing facebook all over the place when there are criminals worldwide and they have all the technology.

[MADUWAN]

Facebook is not bad or good it is always depends on the general public who use it

[Teriyanone]

We lost many advantages and opportunities from great sites due to these cyber criminals and others and it is the same for Facebook

[shakawaski]

I think Facebook isn't dangerous but takes you time..

[Sienna Brow]

Yeah, also it's really dangerous for your eyes. Just look at that design, omfg.

[First77]

We lost many advantages and opportunities from great sites due to these cyber criminals and others and it is the same for Facebook

Email is private means of communication/talks and sharing info, photos etc.. and social media is public.

These giant websites could be data mining in disguise.

[YamigaHyoushi]

I somewhat agree though there are advantages and disadvantages with Facebook. It severs people from the society. People invest almost all of their time on facebook and some neglect their husbands, wives, their sweet little children, and even their role as a breadwinner, or it affects their work due to constant use of facebook. We could say that people are addicted to these social media apps that impedes their occupational performance on their respective environment and contexts. Though I could say that Facebook has great contributions on long distance communications. In the past, it's so hard to communicate with your love ones from far away, but now it's just 1 chat or 1 call away. I remember my father sending telegram or letters from a passenger ship to our house. He said that it would take at least 1 month for the letter to be received. That's how hard it was back then. Facebook has varieties of entertainment for people

[ExFrozze]

Not all scammers use Facebook as a means to communicate and interact dude 

[Rakwaan]

For some people Facebook has been the devil and for others it is there only way for there survival   

[ceylonone]

Doesn't matter what invention introduces bad people will find a way to do bad things using it and that is what happened to Facebook   

[waroengstick]

I think criminals will always be in the world everywhere. Facebook has advantages and disadvantages and I agree with you that what you say is all true, but Facebook has a positive side, it all depends on how you react

[wyplashdea]

The idea of having a common repository of photos with friends its nice, the idea of posting comments on them its nice, the idea of having Facebook its... eh? wait a minute? xDDDD

Its quite similar to: eating meat its good, eating lettuce its good, eating chesse its good...but if you put them together and call it hamburguer its bad xDDDDDD

[First77]

Failbook, Fuckbook, Fakebook   

[uncukarambie]

yes I agree with you, but it all depends on how you react to it, because Facebook really helped me in communicating with my old friends.

[CeyCrypteon]

Agree with the statement even it is not build for that it is a great tool for criminals to do illegal activities.   

[hash25]

We are also advised to immediately delete this information from a Facebook account. That is :

1. Telephone Number
2. Date of birth
3. Relationship status
4. Credit card information
And other data data such as job data, school and so on.

[Menaka sandaruwan92]

i think this is wrong .facebook is 50 positive 50 nagative
positive....
1.meet new frend
2.bild up your knowlege
3.start morning happy
negative....
1.scammer
2.not good video
3.viruse

[Dreamrone]

I have seen people using it for political purposes to promote wrong information against the other party which is something that happening in my country 

[janithaMax]

Knife can cut cakes and also knife can kill people as well, face book is the same like knife, you must undestand it

[Diyannice]

This will continue and increase in the future with the expansion of mobile teechnology so we will able to see many criminal activities done using facebook

[nestken97]

Facebook has two face of problem. If you have enough intelligent, you should think it isn't dangerous. Even, you can get many benefit for you via facbook.

[juminem23]

i dont suppose its quite like that. facebook has its exact or horrific .in any  case.

[First77]

Facebook is a waste of time....My favourite site is btctalk forum.

Trump accuses social media giants of censorship, says ‘millions’ being silenced

Facebook and Google have come under scrutiny after what appeared to be a coordinated effort to remove right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones from their platforms. Jones was later suspended by Twitter. The high-profile de-platforming coincided with a number of troubling suspensions issued by Facebook.

In a Friday tweet, the US president took aim at what he perceived as widespread censorship on social media. “Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people. Can’t do this even if it means we must continue to hear Fake News like CNN, whose ratings have suffered gravely. People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!”

[SWASIRI]

you are correct and Facebook can be consider as a dangerous website on the internet

[melvin richley]

it depend on you use facebook

[Oowa]

It can be dangerous at some point especially if you're a victim of cyberbullying it can affect in your mental health.
But for me it depends on how you use this app and be careful on what you post online.

[vasilev456]

I would not say so, because a lot of other sites where criminals are also present in large numbers!

[various]

Every social media platform is full of any kind of people. It is not only facebook. I use social media to communicate with my family and friends. If you think facebook is dangerous, you should not use any social media platform.

[Xiaolongnu]

Facebook is dangerous but not all of us know that. However, Facebook is not the most dangerous site, we can stay safe on Facebook if we know to protect ourself.

[soundrum]

I disagree with this, though there are many bad actors on Facebook but they don't outnumbered the good ones.

[First77]

In your facebook account you will find "delete after death" and the message:

Please confirm that you want your account deleted after your death. Once someone lets us know that you passed away, all of your info, photos and posts will be permanently removed from Facebook and no one will be able to see your profile again.

What kind of website is facebook ??

[First77]

I disagree with this, though there are many bad actors on Facebook but they don't outnumbered the good ones.

1 in 4 Americans & almost half of millennials deleted Facebook in wake of privacy scandals – study

After Facebook was accused of censorship and hammered by privacy scandals, a new study has found that one in four Americans have deleted the app from their phones. Among young people, this number is even higher.In the wake of multiple scandals, a new poll by Pew research has found that most Americans are curbing their Facebook usage. Pollsters surveyed over 4,500 US adults earlier this summer and found that 74 percent of users have taken some action to reduce their dependence on the social media giant.Some 54 percent have adjusted their privacy settings; 42 percent have taken a break from Facebook for several weeks or more; and 26 percent have deleted the app from their phone entirely. The numbers are more striking, given that among users aged 18-29, almost half of the respondents (44 percent) have deleted the app.

really, all social media is dangerous, not just FB.  what makes it so dangerous is that so many people just trust it, and put all of their life information out there for just about anyone to have access to.

People on Facebook aren't the only threat, but Facebook itself. They've been accused of using people's personal info to manipulate their decisions..The internet is on its way to be closely regulated, and modes of safe storage for personal data are on the rise.

 The problem with Facebook is, it will only come back to bite you years from now. All your info is theirs. They own you, along with Google. That is why it is so important to support projects like Brave browser and DuckDuckGo search engine

If you think that Facebook is dangerous, try Deep Web

Facebook is used by scammers, criminals, terrorists, cyber criminals and for all kinds of illegal activities.

Facebook is the most dangerous website on the internet.

Yes indeed. Facebook become popular in every part of the world. Thus, it allows to access bu majority of the people together with the computer abilities above a normal person. But then, I believe that the Facebook moderators are working to have a safer and more protected websites as we observed in the upgrades of the system. However, to become more safer as an individual you should be careful.

You are so funny. According to your theory, everything is dangerous. Facebook is just a social platform. Can it automatically identify who is good and who is bad?

facebook is not the only website been used by scammers and criminals, what would you say about email services? like yahoo, gmail, etc?

Facebook is used by scammers, criminals, terrorists, cyber criminals and for all kinds of illegal activities.

Facebook is the most dangerous website on the internet.

I don't think so, Facebook is also a big help for most of us, yes it can be used by criminals. but we cannot avoid those criminals or bad persons within this society there is always be a bad person all over the world. Facebook is also a big help for us to advertise what we want to share and what we want to express. It can also help some people who want to see their long-lost relatives. Some other are using Facebook to have their own business.

Yep, that's it. I can't agree more because the problem will never be the tool, but the intention which it is used. You can use a hammer to build a house but also to break someone's head. Is the hammer bad? I don't think so

I can't say that it's most dangerous website, but there are abusers

Manhunt intensifies for ‘survivalist’ who threatened to ‘put a bullet in Trump’s head’

“Keep it up Morganelli, I promise I’ll put a bullet in your head as soon as I put one in the head of President Donald J. Trump,” the fugitive wrote on Facebook back in June, as cited by The New York Times, making criminal threats against the district attorney of Northampton County and the US president – and triggering a major manhunt in the process. The so-called ‘Bush Crafter’ also threatened to use “full lethal force on any law enforcement officer that tries to detain me.”

Entirely I can't accord with this, Right some peoples try to drive their militant tendency on facebook but it is not a large-scale. Most of the people in the world are connected with facebook who are working for social development. They are teaching, giving a new information, conducting businesses  and many others. Facebook is the best social media to me. I think, we can remove all of crime with the help of facebook & help to government by giving information. All of people should the good use of facebook. we should provide true news, informations, on facebook. we can root out the militancy by using facebook. Everyone should be positive minded.

I don’t think Facebook is dangerous. Of course there will always be abusive users, but those exist everywhere. I think Facebook has a fairly good set of protocols and safety features. Didn’t it develop a feature that helps detect fake news? That’s some good AI application, don’t you think?

[jsquad]

Facebook is the most dangerous website on the internet.

I don't agree with that, All social media sites are dangerous it is how you manage your account security. Facebook has been the safest place on internet Just be vigilant about protecting your privacy.

Facebook is used by scammers, criminals, terrorists, cyber criminals and for all kinds of illegal activities.

Facebook is the most dangerous website on the internet.

indeed it is undeniable because perhaps the ease that is obtained and no ethics are built, I see and experience that indeed Facebook is too free and open to display anything that can not be prevented by the manager, even though we also contribute to be able to prevent a little to report content not good but usually many do not want to bother and don't even enjoy it.

[Ana Gene]

I think almost all social media site are dangerous because a scammer may use all of these. It just happened that Facebook is one of the widely used social media network so many scammers and bad person use it to attract victims. If we, users, would only be smart enough and do a lot of research we could reduce the cases of scammers.

That's also why fb and other networks has a child-policy standard.

[cassidyyy]

I think all the social media channels are the same. It's not just Facebook that we have to be cautious in using. We have to be responsible as well in the data that we provide.

All social platforms have the same problem, not just Facebook! But we can reduce the possibility of being cheated by learning more knowledge! This is easy to do!

Facebook claims it has 400 million users. But are they well-protected from prying eyes, scammers and unwanted marketers?
Not according to Joan Goodchild, senior editor of CSO (Chief Security Officer) Online.

She says your privacy may be at far greater risk of being violated than you know when you log onto Facebook, due to security gaffes or marketing efforts by the company.

Facebook came under fire this week, when 15 privacy and consumer protection organizations filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, charging that the site, among other things, manipulates privacy settings to make users' personal information available for commercial use. Also, some Facebook users found their private chats accessible to everyone on their contact list - a major security breach that's left a lot of people wondering just how secure the site is.

In two words, asserts Goodchild - not very.

On "The Early Show on Saturday Morning," she spotlighted five dangers she says Facebook users expose themselves to, probably without aware of it:

• Your information is being shared with third parties

• Privacy settings revert to a less safe default mode after each redesign

• Facebook ads may contain malware

• Your real friends unknowingly make you vulnerable

• Scammers are creating fake profiles

Is Facebook a secure platform to communicate with your friends?

Here's the thing; Facebook is one of the most popular sites in the world. … Security holes are being found on a regular basis. … It is not as inherently secure as people think it is when they log on every day.

Certainly, there are growing pains. Facebook is considered a young company and it has been around a few years now. It is continuing to figure this out. They are so young they are still trying to figure out how they are going to make money. They don't even have a revenue model yet. It is hard to compare this to others; we have never had this phenomenon before in the way people are communicating with each other - only e-mail comes close.

The potential for crime is real. According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, victims of Internet-related crimes lost $559 million in 2009. That was up 110 percent from the previous year. If you're not careful using Facebook, you are looking at the potential for identity theft, or possibly even something like assault if you share information with a dangerous person you think is actually a "friend." One British police agency recently reported the number of crimes they've responded to in the last year involving Facebook climbed 346 percent. These are real threats.

Lately, it seems a week doesn't go by without some new news about a Facebook-related security problem.

Earlier this week, a publication called "TechCrunch" discovered a security hole that made it possible for users to read their friends' private chats. Facebook has since patched it, but who knows how long that flaw existed? Some speculate it may have been that way for years.

Last month, researchers at VeriSign's iDefense group discovered a hacker was selling Facebook user names and passwords in an underground hacker forum. It was estimated he had about 1.5 million accounts - and was selling them for between $25 and $45.

And the site is constantly under attack from hackers trying to spam these 400 million users, or harvest their data, or run other scams. Certainly, there is a lot of criticism in the security community of Facebook's handling of security. Perhaps the most frustrating thing is that the company rarely responds to inquiries.

Do people really have privacy on Facebook?

No. There are all kinds of ways third parties can access information about you. For instance, you may not realize that, when you are playing the popular games on Facebook, such as Farmville, or take those popular quizzes, every time you do that, you authorize an application to be downloaded to your profile that you may not realize gives information to third parties.

Does Facebook share info about users with third parties through things such as Open Graph?

Open Graph is a new concept for them - they unveiled it last week at a conference. It actually is basically a way to share the information in your profile with all kinds of third parties, such as partner websites, so they can have a better idea of your interests and what you are discussing, so they can - as they portray it - "make it a more personal experience."

The theory behind Open Graph - even if they have not implemented it - is their whole business model, isn't it?

Well, that is the business model - they are trying to get you to share as much information as possible so they can monetize it by sharing it with advertisers.

Isn't it in Facebook's best interest to get you to share as much info as possible?

It absolutely is. Facebook's mission is to get you to share as much information as it can so it can share it with advertisers. As it looks now, the more info you share the more they are going to with advertisers and make more money.
