PRIVACY AT LAST?

Hopefully you won't be receiving any more message from me about Facebook now that their founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has said it is making its website easier for users to decide what data they wish to share about themselves. He has acknowledged that a lot of people were 'upset' with them! However, I think users should still be careful what they post on their pages because even people, or should I say 'friends', are still able to share that information with their 'friends' without the user's permission. It is like a gossip site and, as we all know, as gossip gets passed on it can become completely distorted and lead to all sorts of unpleasant and sometimes dangerous consequences. I personally prefer to only contact my 'real' friends by e-mail, telephone or better still, face to face. I would rather see someone LOL (that dreaded text-speak!) at something I have said or smile at me than see it as an icon in a message. But then I am of the older generation so what do I know?!!
