Be careful when using Facebook and their Aps. I always surf using https for security. When you go to their aps, it asks you to temporarily let them drop the s and go to basic http in order to access the ap. Then it will be restored. Well in the beginning, it did. Then I emailed them on it and I never got an answer. Then it started NOT restoring it back to https. Be careful, be very careful!
I have picked up viruses several times while playing certain games on Facebook, that crashed my PC. It could not reboot or find the hard drive. I was able to repair myself, but the last one was almost fatal. The virus destroyed files on my PC, prevented AVG from completing virus scan. They appear to be transmitted through the animated games. This last one came from Gardens of Time. Facebook has become a very dangerous environment, be careful of all links.
Learn how yo use it, Learn what not to use. Change you security settings often.Use the correct programs to block off the wrong stuff they use and you will be just fine using it. Educate yourself on it. DON'T USE ANY APPS ,DO NOT CLICK ON LIKE OR DISLIKE. If you learn how they work and you use preventative measures,it's just fine.
After going through a good few pages on this website's review, I decided to actually take a look at facebook's privacy statement:
"A Note About Your Personal Information
Despite what you may have heard, Facebook does not give your personal information to advertisers—including your name, profile picture or any of your photos.
Ads shown by third parties
Facebook does not give third party applications or ad networks the right to use your name or picture in ads. If we allow this in the future, the setting you choose will determine how your information is used.
You may see social context on third party sites, including in ads, through Facebook social plugins. Although social plugins enable you to have a social experience on a third party site, Facebook does not share your information with the third party sites hosting the social plugins.
Edit third party ad settings
Ads and friends
Everyone wants to know what their friends like. That's why we pair ads and friends—an easy way to find products and services you're interested in, based on what your friends share and like.
Here are the facts:
* Social ads show an advertiser's message alongside actions you have taken, such as liking a Page
* Your privacy settings apply to social ads
* We don't sell your information to advertisers
* Only confirmed friends can see your actions alongside an ad
* If a photo is used, it is your profile photo and not from your photo albums
Edit social ads setting"
From what I understand, facebook probably DID sell out your information in the past, realizing their has been an uprising about it, had then fixed it into what the user would more or less "like to hear" or well in this case, see.
Yes, you can edit your account to your liking, how private you would like it to be, at least for now. But there's only so much one can really hide. I'm not too computer savy, but anyone from this generation should understand that someone can always get into your information if they'd really like to: whether it be a job/college reviewing your profile or simply a hacker or even a marketing company. You're never really entirely safe.
I will also agree in the fact that the website is definitely virus prone with some of the ads they have as well as applications. Even simple things such as clicking on the wrong notification when you login.
It's an alright website, you just can't be too trusting in it. Don't post your entire life & every detail of yourself on it; even if that is the entire point of it. That's just foolish & asking for trouble. Be wary of what you choose to click & participate in as well.
I make a bad experience with this site. I was a member for long time, but one day, I comment some photos and what is what I have to see:
My comments were not taken in the line I post them, but in a wrong order. And I HOPE^^ I can also exclude that my account has been hacked...
Of course, dear facebook, it is only my experience. And I don't want to say that you are bad. Sure it's an exception. And if there are some hackers who can hack this thing, I think there are also some who can hack facebook. *****
Some links potentially lead to sites with Malicious content, plus spam, can be used to trick children to meet with paedophiles, and other child predators.
