Gives the illusion of privacy, but gives out information. Example: Sidebar ads are tailored to the personal information you have listed, even if you have the privacy settings set to the "paranoid" level.
Overall I find Facebook a great site that if properly used is almost perfectly safe. I feel however they should advertise more how to set your privacy settings and to have a true panel of people to review each group and photo. Otherwise if you are smart person who knows the danger of the internet and how to prevent it you will do fine on the site.

I have had spam that could only have come from facebook and messages about applications being used by my friends when they haven't added them or even visited them.
Facebook is a very popular social network to stay in contact with friends. However, it has some privacy issues, such as the fact that everyone can see everything you do through the Mini-Feed. In addition, not everything is completely safe for children either.
