I am a regular user of facebook.i share alot of photos and messages with my friesnds and my relatives.now i came to know that facebook has lots of vulnerabilities.like we can view the entire album of strangers without being friend to him\her.we can view others chat message or message sent to others by him...so by this fact we can say that facebook is not corncerned with our privacy.what to do u feel????

I would feel alarmed and seems that privacy is not the thing in facebook. I have facebook account but I really dont deal with it so much. I even dont put much pictures on it. Seems that is not the right place to have it post there.

Well seems people nowadays dont care about that privacy thing. They seems ok in displaying most of their treasure things. They like to boast it to everyone. Anyways everyone of us are unique from one another. So I really can't judge them why they are doing it.

I havn't had problems with spam emails before I was a member of facebook. Constant emails from senegal and other african countries asking for my details.

Viewing of photos of strangers is simply a privacy option the user has. YOU can change that by changing who can view the album .. your options are: Everyone, Friends only, friends of friends, private (no one). If you do not choose an option, its automatically set to EVERYONE.
And what the heck are you talking about chat messages? you mean on their walls? If the persons page is not set to private and you are not a friend, you will be able to see it all... Now, if you are someones friend, even if their account is private, Yes, you will be able to see who else posts on their wall. Because even if someones account is set to private, that persons friends will be able to see all the info that person puts on their profile.
If your so concerned, delete your account.
otherwise, change your own account settings..

As a user of facebook, we are responsible of our own privacy. There are many people who may not be aware of privacy settings.
As for me, no stranger can anything any more than just a name and picture. Only my friends can message me. No one else can message me. Only friends of friends can request friends with me. Which means that no stranger can request friends with me.
The only one that can see my friend list is me. I have come across a woman adding me as friend because she was an old school mate of my husband, but next thing I know, she added other people from my list. When I checked her wall out, she was just adding friends and more. She had over 1000 friends and I bet that she doesn't even know 80% of them. I ended up deleting and blocking her. After that I found the privacy setting to hide my friends list. So the only thing my friends can see now is mutual friends.
as to photos, not every one can see all my photos. I have photos of my friends baby. she requested not to have them on facebook. I told her that it ok, I can put them on for you but set privacy settings so that only my friend can see them and other family members that she said is ok to see them.
And again. No one can see my wall so no one can see my messages to my friends. only my friends can see my wall and comment on it.
So we do have the power of the level of security and privacy of our own accounts on facebook. It is up to us to set those levels. Because I am aware of the privacy settings, I am confident that facebook is concern about privacy to allow us to set our levels of privacy.
