What are the Disadvantages of Facebook?

Hey pekibird, FB is definitley good because it allows us to connect with our love ones. Furthermore, with FB, we are all able to find many long-lost friends. Hwoever, with benefits, there are also disadvantages with FB as well. For instance, many of us are 'addicted' to FB and we have to check it at least once a day. Furthmore, we rely on FB to update us on what is happening to our friends. In the past, we talk to our friends and have face to face contact with them, if not we will chat over the phone. However, with FB, all of us now rely on FB to message each other and therefore we have lost the face contact.

Facebook is good to pass time but if you notice the needy people, the ones that love attention are always and constantly on the site updating everything that they do. That is bad because they dont have a life at all, they have a stupid addiction. It is a good theing to show pics, social media and all but there is a limit to what you should share to the whole world as to everything is gonna stay on the net.

Other then having stalkers or people just checking on your profile for others, and of course the sometimes drama it isn't too bad.

Some people will stalk you, that is the worst part of facebook but as long as they are quite about it I don't care.

Hi friend, welcome to mylot. Facebook is having both pros and cons, if we use this site in a good manner, we will get benefits, otherwise we will face some unwanted issues due to it. Facebook is just an online site and the issues and problems are based on the person whoever using it

• Time consuming Most people find after becoming a Facebook member that interaction tends to become time consuming. If you are hard-pressed for time, it's important to set time limits for yourself or you'll likely find it's highly possible to lose valuable time that could have been more productive elsewhere. The time consuming aspect of Facebook doesn't have to be a problem as long as you don't let it and stay in control. • Facebook addiction Some people find once they've become immersed in the Facebook culture they become addicted. Depending on your perspective, spending too much time on a single website with nothing else to show at the end of the day may be a huge disadvantage.

Having facebook would lessen the chance to communicate with the other members of the family, friends, and lovers verbally. It's not a good way to spend your day browsing the facebook as if we cannot live without it. One time, my friend posted a shoutout on her wall, and my other friend commented "thank you", and the first guy said "you should have said 'thank you' to me directly. You're just infront of me, you know." I know it's silly but we all know that it's true. We don't communicate like the good old days, but sadly we are now living in a world where most of the people communicate do not effectively through verbal communication.

I was quite happy being a member there and uploaded several pictures of my life. What I have noticed is that my friends or family do not reveal much of their life. I too have stopped doing it now. Actually that is the place where we should be interacting really.

We can easily make new friends on facebook from any part of world. but some people post anything, there is no privacy. even sometimes we later regret posting pictures or comments that you thought funny at the time.i am fed up accepting friend request from lots of fake profile.be careful when you choose to be freinds with someone you have never met in real life

We are in the modern world. It might sound to be hypocrite if the usage of this social network can't bring any good things. The only disadvantage I can see, if you use it in a wrongful way.

too much exposure of one's life, I knew some people who tends to pretend to look good in facebook.

I can't think of any disadvantages of Facebook for me, but I think it takes up the time of other people. I have friends who are always on fb, and always posts the littlest things that happen in their lives. I think Facebook also gives "Friend" a new meaning.

There are so many negative side because of facebook. Some teenager especially girls often become victim of raping, kidnapping ,after they make promise with their friend on facebook. They never met before, but they trust to the new friend. They though that the new friend are good person. Even they fall in love before they meet each other directly

I think that we can spend our spare time on these social networking sites like facebook.Of course we can make new friends or contact old friends by ues them.Maybe we also can learn some thing.But as we know,things always have two sides,so as the facebook.If we can control ourselves and avoid addicting it.We can benefit from it.

I think most people would spend lots of times in Facebook. I think the disadvantage of facebook is that facebook might make people stay on internet for long periods of time.

Hi Peki, I used to be addicted to Facebook before.. I can remember checking out the newsfeed every now and then (new photos, new status updates and other things).. But when I became busy with school, my Facebook addiction has lessened. I rarely check my Facebook account when I started working with my thesis.. I had to go to the province to gather data for my study then I also had to survey some business owners and employees. Facebook is not bad at all but you need to know how to balance your time. It can be addictive.. your work/school can be affected/compromised..

It was advantages before, now the interference of others are more. Now companies, get the character certificate from FB. Some companies reject a candidate if they dont have FB Id. I am sharing one sour full instance of mine, for some reason I was out of FB for 3weeks, I also felt why is it so important to forcefully come and check and update the status. At that time I missed to see and wish one of my friends birthday, since then we haven't been talking. social binding is important but not in virtual, what is there in a word. suppose someone wakes up at weekend and logs in to FB, and he could see his friends there and the talks go on till dusk. And they say, have saved time and shared information. oh come on is it a profit seeing medium. We are human, must be active not reactive only machines share information. FB makes people so mean. It shouldn't be a day today activity rather once in a while interest.

I don't think I can give you a comprehensive list but from experience the number one disadvantage is that it's a great place to say something stupid publicly and regret it for a long time. Didn't do it myself but I've seen so many of my friends accidentally humble themselves. I know someone who had trouble finding work because of stuff he put on Facebook. I've read about people doing far worse.

The great disadvantage of Facebook, at least to me, is that however hard you try to protect your privacy, it will just easily be invaded because there are a lot of people with huge skills to do such a thing. I use Facebook to interact with my friends and relatives especially those who live far away from me. Also, although doing Facebook is not as exciting as it used to be, still, millions of users are still addictive to it. So I would say that another disadvantage of using Facebook despite the fact that it's a boring thing already is that it is addicting.

Facebook has become an important part of peoples life's and can be very useful at times, families and friends can now keep in contact with each through facebook but it has its downsides to. Many people use facebook as a way to be most and many people set themselves up for failure when they post outrageous pictures and statuses, this has cost many people their jobs and relationships. Many people also put their business out there for the whole world to see and that is a disadvantage to facebook as well. In conclusion, the disadvantage of facebook is some of its users they donot know limits when posting things online.
