I have been told tonight by a friend, that there are a few problems on face book, one is that when other people tell a person what they have seen, also the other when a person gets confronted with the things that they do not want to see.Now this has caused a problem, as nobody told me what has been going on until now, also I have been told that my friend has stayed quiet on face book, it is only every now and again when she do go on the site, as she has other interests, where as the other friend lives on there.One friend has things going on in her life and the other one seems to hang her head in the clouds is the way it was said and shown to me tonight.Face book causes so much trouble, but sometimes, it can be a blessing knowing what your family are up to.

I disagree. I don't think Facebook causes any problems at all. I feel that people do. Facebook allows a person to put anything they want in the status window. If a person wants to put idiotic stuff on there it is up to them, not Facebook. Common sense would tell anyone with a thimble full of intellect not to put dumb or personal things on their wall.

@emmiemodel Glad I made you smile.
@PalePurple It is ironic. People need to put up very definite boundaries and check things out fully.

Ironic huh? But really, why can't some people understand that they are in the internet and even if Facebook has a so-called 'private page' web technology can reach them and blunt them to the whole web community. Posts, replies, walls on a public networking site are all act of making you known public, so don't be shocked if you 'liked' other people in your page and later find out that they are your next door neighbor who just wanted to pry on your private life. It will be a can of worms opening for viewers to read and spread. ha..ha..ha..
Think about this: One must be responsible to their act. If you do it, then bear the consequence. So better not do it!

I think that there are a lot of young people that should not be on face book, as these children tend to add people, that they do not know and some parents never look at their childrens accounts, to see who they have added, or what is being said.Also I think that some adults add children, when they know what the children are like.I find it really strange that there are people out there, that do not worry about what their children are getting up to on or off face book, yet when they are caught doing what ever, and it is noticed on face book, they are the first to say, things like thats it Im not letting them on the internet, next you see them on there and worse things are being put on there.Some people just do not learn.

I don't do Facebook. I don't see a need to broadcast my life on the internet, but what pi$$es me off is I have no control of what other people post. Example: I go to a wedding. Everyone is taking pictures. Next thing I know, I have people telling me they saw my picture on Facebook. No, I'm not drunk dancing on tables or puking in the toilet, but it doesn't matter. That's not the point. I have not given permission nor signed a release for anyone to publish my picture or anything about me!

I do think that there should be more privacy for the people that are not on the site.I do feel sorry for people that are out trying to have fun and then, like you are saying people take a photo add a comment and there you are on the site.I just think that there are a lot of people on there that ruin it for other people.

Unfortunately if you are in a public place where people are taking pictures, the law isn't really on your side if someone takes a photo and publishes it, as I understand the law (having studied it some as a photographer) people can publish photos taken in public places like a wedding or restaurant or something without the subject's consent. It can definitely be frustrating though if you don't want people knowing what you were up to that weekend!

I think that you are right there that no matter where you are, if there are other people with phones, or cameras, then there will always be people that will take photos, as well as put them up on the face book site, without you knowing, or even getting told by the person that has done it.

Hah, I would just as soon not know, except that one time a neighbor's wife put things up on Facebook about her husband which when he was arrested I guess the photos were somewhat incriminating, so the day he was taken off to jail those photos went down, but probably they were still in the cache. She published a photo of a tattoo that the guy had on a place on his body that I had no desire to look at. But that tattoo would certainly give the police positive identification of who he was.

Must have hurt having a tattoo done there, lol.I know what you mean, there are some things that people should never put on face book as you never know who is reading what you are putting.I think some people cause problems by the status updates that they put up on there, without even thinking of the trouble it can and usually do cause.

I believe people get in trouble on Facebook all by themselves. Facebook odesn't get them in trouble. People don't think before they do anything,no matter if on Facebook or in life. People will continue to get in trouble until time ends! Plain and simple!

I do agree there, that people tend to not think that they can get themselves in trouble, but they do one way or the other.I feel sorry for the people that they bring down, by bad mouthing them.People that do not have a real identity should be kicked off, as soon as they have been reported and then have to prove who they really are.

hahaha people really get in trouble in facebook because you could probably stalk someone in facebook and they wouldn't know about it. Relationships could be shatter just by a simple tag of a picture or two.
so many possibilities that will lead to trouble but their are also many ways to enjoy it. I guess it would just depend on your friends if they keep it a heaven on earth or a living hell.
happy mylotting

I just feel like there are some really dumb people, that go on face book and never think of who are the mutual friends, as well as, if a person will keep another person up to date with all that has gone on.I know before face book, people use to go and talk to people, rather than let everyone know on face book.Also I think that parents should also see if they have children, what the children are doing on the site, as you never know who children talk to.

at the news, some people got killed, kidnap because of the facebook. i think it's not because the site but it is the users' fault who can't use it wisely.

I agree that Facebook can sometimes cause problems for people. Some people are quick to post things on their wall without giving thought to the implications. People need to be more careful about the things they post on Facebook or any other website.

I do think that there are a few people out there that do not think before they post on face book.I also think that there are a lot of people out there that tend to regret what they have put up, like a status, or a comment on another persons status.It is like you say the implications that gets them in a lot of trouble further down the line.

Very true. Because most of the time one was being misunderstood by just reading replies. It is not Facebook that is the problem but the people reacting over replies on it.

I think that it is the people that put the status up that are sometimes trying to start a war.I think that is a reason why some people put a status up, to see how many people that they can push.I do feel that sometimes people should not have an account, also if they are children, they should also watch what they write, as actions have consequences.

The problem is not with facebook, we as individual should take full responsibility of our actions. The way we interact with people & what we are about to post is beyond facebook's control. Facebook is the easiest way to communicate with other people all accross the globe but people keep blaming it to fb when something bad happen to a certain person.
Responsibility was still to the people who were using it, it is of much work to do if fb would filter all the post before posting it.

I think that if there are people out there that want to try to act big and clever on the internet and post what they think is ok, then you are right it is down to them not face book.I do think that there are people out there that tend to join face book and do not think before they post, neither do the people that comment either, this has caused people trouble in the past.
