I allowed both my two to have facebook, as all their friends do. A bit like kenty’s eldest, I checked out their settings and I used to (now they both over 18) get an alert if either one of them got an invite which was accepted. Quite relieved now cos they both had well over 200 peeps on! lol I also made sure I had access to their home, just in case.

Personally, I think it is a very dangerous site if you don’t know what you are doing, bit like me at first, I learnt the hard way!

I would like to point out though, about this site. I think the Private Messages tool is good, however, should a minor (who’s parents haven’t blocked adult sites) be in here and get a message from a paedo or wotever, it is undectable, so it is roughly the same as facebook – sorry JC, but it is true!

aint you told us lots of times you had probs with face book
so what is the point of checking your kids settings

you didnt managed to protect your own :roll:

The fact remains that Facebook, by its very nature, encourages people to add people as friends, when they actually do not know them. They are then given access to information they would not normally know.

Facebook has been in the public eye for putting a middle aged man into contact with people who then abused children in their care and sent him images. It is not just one isolated incident. There is nothing friendly about this and I was not joking when I said it was the work of the devil. Even the most innocent seeming applications within Facebook collect information on everyone who uses them. It is Big Brother.

It has become too large and unweildy and open to corruption. If you want to use it at all, restrict the people on it to people you REALLY know. And even that has the potential for harm.

jaysus.. as a FB user with NOT one person from on here on it.. I cannot see the harm. we use it to discuss weekend trips, drunken nights and laughs galore. combined with problem solving if one of us has a problem, either politically on the Left,the troubles of Dundee FC and the 25 point penalty.. A pregnant pal, a newly made grandmother, a guy who is bugged that the pillars bar in Dundee, closed today and will be re-opened as some wine lounge. An ananrchist web site where i scoff at their airy fairy ways of taking money to heal folks by firewalking and the need for shamens !

Hell aye,, we get out of it what we put in..

stop being so fooking ANAL !

I never add fuckers who ask me ! as i like the 40 folks i have on it and its sworn to secrecy NO bugger gets to see the evidence :)

I dunno rubes.

Wasn’t FB the site invented by an american student that quickly spread to the children of the western world before adults clicked on thinking they were being with it ? And you mean to say that people still use it ? . . . . . . . . shock, horror . . . . . . all I see is the abegnation of personal responsibility combined with a bandwagon factor. But then I would.

Nothing and I mean nothing will ever beat a handwritten letter, preferably with real tear stains, sent by her majestys post. Gawd bless her. I heard that she actually sorts all the envelopes that go through Windsor post office.
