I have two Facebook Account because I got addicted to Farmville, but after my farmville days I deactivated my other account because some are confused where account to message me,etc. My subject said Facebook is it Good or Bad? Why did I ask such question? I did wanna hear comments from you guys. I know Facebook did a job well done, you've search your friends from way back then and got communicate with the use of Facebook. But I think it becomes bad and it depends on the user, sometimes they abused the social networks and make it a reason to stalk a person, do bad things, etc. But I do believe that we are the responsible for what we do so do it right and think before you act.

Usage of a technology all depends on the user. If a person decides to use it for something productive then it's good, but for something destructive then it's definitely bad. A knife can be used to kill but it can also be used to cut meat and vegetables to be cooked and eaten. This is just a basic example of what I have stated earlier. We must take responsibility for our actions, so we must make sure that we strive to do what we know or deem good.

True, it really depends on how the user will handle things. Think before you act, we are the only person to keep ourselves safe from any danger. We are responsible in what we are to post so let's be careful on whatever we do.

Well, of course, they say that to err is human but should we always use that excuse whenever we do a mistake. We have the ability to think and decide so therefore, unless circumstances are beyond our control, we cannot just make that excuse. I think it's lame.

It all depends on how you would use your FB. If you will use it to share things not worth sharing or posting things you should rather keep to yourself then this is bad. If you use FB to malign or disrespect the privacy of others it is bad. But if you use FB for friendship, and sharing good, useful things to others then it is good. Choose between the good and the bad, the decision is yours.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Yes, use Facebook and other social networks for fun, meeting new people, communicating with friends and relatives and just not posts anything that will be a threat for you.

When there is good there is evil. People use facebook, both fOr good and for evil deeds all the time. I agree with you that it really depends on the user, but we can't control other people, so these things happen even if we like it or not. All we can do is try to help the community in facebook to have more of the positive than of the negative things.

Well, it depends on the user. Facebook is a socializing platform that allow us to meet with new people and get to know more about them. If you know how to to use it correctly, you will be able to learn a lot of new things in different areas. Some people, on the other hand will just spend their time to stalk other people. Some will even send those harassing messages to their crushes to ask for 1 night stand etc. However, if you do have that kind of problem, you can always report it to admin and block that user from seeing your profile. You also have the right to control the information that you wish to share with your friends. You can put your profile to private or public as you wish. In conclusion, I don't think that facebook is a bad website, since it helps us to connect with other people, but it is just simply abused by some irresponsible persons.

Yes, it really depends on the user. If the user tends to use it for communication and meeting new friends, then probably he/she is using it correctly. It is just a matter of how you use it. You are the one who is responsible on what you are posting so just to be safe be careful on what you post.

Facebook can cause you problems regarding your information getting into the wrongs hands, if you don't set your privacy settings correctly or you just share information which you are not tend to. If you learn the simple step to protect your data from unknown persons, facebook it fine. Sometimes facebook does some changes to their system that might cause you information to get in others hand, but who cares, if you haven't shared anything that you would want to hide?

True, that is why be private with your information. Just share it to the people who you really know. Social Networks is broadcast and many people are using it, that is why for your safety accept only those people who you really know. We don't know if bad things will happen but just for sure.

Hi Joan,
For me it's neither good or bad. It's only a social network, bad or good things that happen there only depends on the users. The user's have the option to control their profile or privacy, it's always up to them who they choose as friends or who they connect with. They are suppose to be the one to decide how much time they spend FBing, being addicted is only an excuse. It also depends on how decipline you are towards networking.
Have a good day:)

It really depends on the user, they should not accept friend requests that they don't even know because not all the details and posts are for all to know. So you have to be really careful on what you post it is also a social network and open for public, meaning everyone can see it.

For me Facebook is neither bad nor good. It all depends on the user, on how he uses this particular social networking site. If his reasons for joining is good or bad, helpful or not. That is what I think.

It really depends on the user. They should not always trust anyone, they should not also give personal information especially it is a social network it is open in public.

Using Facebook can neither be good or bad. If your intention of using this kind of media is to meet your old friends, make new friends and inspiring others through posting motivational quotes and positive comments in this web then that's GOOD. But if you allow yourself to use Facebook in your evil invasions like giving revenge to a friend, posting hurtful messages without having second thoughts or you plan to deceit anybody and use this as a mode of human trafficking, kidnapping or anything else that will be a very BAD idea. We should always keep in mind that in everything we do Karma is always there. So lets use Facebook for Good.

True, all we want is for us to communicate with our friends, relatives, to be able to be closer to new friends. But if we do let our information to public with anyone seeing it, it may be a cause of threat for us. And if we trust somebody because they offer jobs, or whatsoever. We are responsible for our acts so if we really be careful of what we are doing we'll be safe that's for sure.
