I actually could not be more sick and tired of these stupid stories where people have given away too much information over a social networking site and the site itself gets the blame! When someone completely daft gives their information which they shouldn't on the internet then its as if the site itself is the most unsafe place for you to sign up to. I mean, are you actually serious? There is absolutely no risk on these sites unless you're completely idiotic about it! It is always one stupid person that ruins it for everyone else. Facebook, for example, has had much stigma around it, especially by older generations as they only ever hear the bad stuff and don't fully understand the technicalities of all this 'internet jargon'. Now, Facebook has settings so that if you don't want ANYONE to see ANY of your profile, they can't! It is quite a wonderful thing that YOU make it as private as YOU LIKE! Now, if someone is ****ing stupid enough to not bother upping their privacy settings, then I think they deserve whatever is coming to them as a result because the beauty of these sites is that its really not very complicated, like most of the internet, it really is just the click of a button and then you're home clear, safe and sound. 
So for all the people out there who only ever hear the bad things about Facebook and how easily people can get your information, you need to get YOUR information straight because it is only the idiots who put that information on the internet in the first place that ever suffer as a result. Simple as, DON'T put up any very personal info and keep a close eye on your privacy settings!! Just be a bit savvy about it.. its really not that complicated.
