Networking Sites: Good or Bad? (Hit Me)
How many of you use networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, or any other? There are so many out there, but the most popular at the moment, are Facebook and MySpace. Currently there are more than 400 million people using Facebook alone. They are a great way to keep in touch with friends or get to know new ones. While these sites might have their advantages, there is also a dark side to them. Stories in the news are popping up showing how these sites are being used to cyber bully, steal identities, and harass people. As well as that, there is a whole other issue regarding privacy. Facebook in recent months changed its privacy settings making it easier for users to control who sees what, but at the same time things such as applications, games, and fan pages can take your information and share it with third parties. So, are these sites doing more good than bad and are they invading our right to privacy? What are your concerns and thoughts on the matter?
