very good info, I got a message from a friend about explicit images in Disney films, I was supposed to look at it. Well being suspicious I googled the message first and found out it was a scam, where they direct you to another site and install bad stuff on your computer. I told her about it and she was shocked. I don't do ANY of that stuff on FB, I just look at what people post to keep up with them.

I got off FACEBOOK, DIL's were posting too many things that I thought they shouldn't and it was ticking me off. Plus one even said, when I posted a question on her wall meant for someone else that we were "speaking" with at the time, to go post it on the other person's wall, that this was all about her and not the other DIL. Haven't been on in almost a year. TOO much info shared in my opinion.

Yes, people seem to not have a care in the world about what they are posting. I started off thinking that only the people I had a friends could see what I wrote, but learned real fast that that isn"t so. I don't post anymore myself, but will look at family or friends pictures.

Thanks...I'm on fb. I know that I don't post anything I wouldn't want the world to see. Because it is available to the world. Same as here...It is a public site and anyone can view it at anytime.

Thanks for the info. I am always telling my kids NOT to post so much stuff there too!

About the same reason I stopped going on there. Too much info for too many eyes.
