Should I join Facebook?
I'm thinking about joining Facebook but I hear there are pro's and con's. I'm told the banks, police and federal agencies monitor all the information posted there that others cannot get. I'm also told I give up all rights to whatever I post there and that it is recorded forever. This sounds like I might be putting my personal freedom and privacy on thin ice forever. My friend was denied a car loan because his bank said they read he was planning a vacation to Hawaii on his wall page. A student from a nearby college committed suicide after someone posted a photo on his page that showed him kissing another man. I want to share things with my family and others but is it really wise to put myself at risk like this?

Jobs and such things can find your information on facebook, but guess what, you can make your profile PRIVATE. No one can look at it or even search it. Only way you can add friends is...if...YOU...add them.
Go ahead, make a facebook, and have your friends and family on there. Its not that big of a deal.

*Don't post anything you will regret
*Don't post anything personal/that can put you in danger (address for example)
*Keep it just for friends and family
*Be aware of the scams on social networking sites
It's good for keeping in touch and sharing things with certain people.. but there are limits.
Just be careful, it's supposed to be a bit of fun. :)
Police etc can check on there if they have a reason, but like I said, if you put up anything incriminating, it's at your own risk. It's not just Facebook that does this - once you put something on the internet, you're letting the world share it with you.
If you're still worried, read the FAQS on the Facebook page and read some of these
