Facebook Does an About-Face

Facebook is addicting yet dangerous. If the blogger thinks all their information is "confidential" then they are making a big mistake. The internet is constantly being censored and if one does not want to be the "enemy of the state" then they should always be careful what they say on-line. Words said on-line can become a great hurt for someone when it is directed towards someone. But one thing to remember is that you are writing and telling them through a media that does not have facial expresssions or any direct interaction with the person. I know of someone that learned that the hard way. I hope people realize that internet is not somewhere to let go of your stress and write things that hurt people. I think that people should be careful what they post and how they express themselves because they are talking indirectly to a person with a face with emotions and feelings as the same with yourself.

Thank you for letting me express MY thoughts and if there are any flaws in my rational then please feel free to contact me at smiling247@empas.com

I'm glad Facebook finally listened to users, and allowed us to opt in to publishing individual transactions, rather than a difficult opt out. But sites are still sending this information, and there is no way opt out of the whole program.
