Facebook, MySPACE, Friendster and other social networking sites run you the risk of identity theft, blackmailing and even stalking... Participation in social networking sites has increased dramatically recently. Services such as Facebook, Twitter or Friendster have millions of members with online profiles sharing personal and sensitive information freely and publicly with vast networks of friends – and an unknown number of strangers. Risks range from identity theft, online or physical stalking to embarrassment and blackmailing.
Bottom line: Social networking users should have full knowledge of and control over any and all user data collected by the network or by any third party using its platform.
Privacy tool: Visit your profile privacy settings page and adjust the visibility of profile sections.
