Ist facebook.com sicher?

Facebook API is way too accessible and no-one really knows what kind of intentions external programmers have since apps developed for facebook are removed after the damage has been done; instead of screening every apps prior to deployment on the facebook cloud. Simple example: Calendar application, is totally useless, since facebook maintains own calendars for every user's birthday etc. but if you allow this application in your account it gets access to almost everything you have on facebook and it spams itself to your friends. Many more of these examples can be found, where facebook apps are requesting to undo virtually every privacy setting you tried to setup. The security builtin features of Facebook are hard to oversee, even Windows Live has a more transparent security settings interface. I litterly have to assist some folks since it's such a confusing interface for security and privacy settings.

Really good social networking site. Have to be careful what groups you join and who you add. Other than that it is very useful to talk to family and friends safely. Children under 13 should'nt use it due to T&C on their site and plus people are generally misleading.

While Facebook is a good site with good intentions, the applications and links that people post on it (which Facebook does not have complete or immediate control over yet can take action to correct later) may lead users to negative consequences, including malware, spyware, viruses, adult content, and other negative experiences. While I have had a generally wonderful experience on Facebook, I would caution parents that have children and users that are not familiar with the internet. Clicking on ads or applications that look appealing may lead you down paths that can go the negative places that could leave you with a computer that doesn't work well, not at all, or provides you with content you don't wish to view. I've personally helped a number of friends who've gone down that road. Again, Facebook can be a great social networking experience for you, your friends, and your family. However, use caution in who you make friends with if you don't know them, and don't click links from people you don't know or trust.

Facebook is very good and trust website but in Facebook also you can find a lot of scam,spam,fake messages as well.Everyone need to be careful with their Security and privacy setting. Also when you give access to some applications you need to be very careful to who you will give this information. Great Site Good Customer experience

Serious privacy issues because of the huge amount of personal data hoarded by Facebook. This data is readily available to applications and exploit scripts and can be easily exported/exploited. (I have personally experienced a 'drive by' hijack of my e-mail account triggered by an exploit script on Facebook). Be VERY careful about data you supply, even to Facebook's own applications such as Friends Finder - your e-mail contacts, e-mail account ID and password will be squirrelled away...

Only reason this is bad... it is addictive. I have a wife (or at least had) and now I come home from work to find her playing Farmville instead of greeting me at the door or saying hi or even preparing dinner. Not that I have a problem making dinner, but when Facebook interferes with daily and regular functions, it worries me. The site is useful though.
