This post explores the risks of using Facebook, and the risks of your peers using Facebook even if you do not. Facebook transformed the way that the world interacts. For many, it has become the prime forum for social participation. Critics of Facebook point to the narcissistic exhibitionism which it promotes, but the internet site has also provided communities, groups, activists, and individuals with a virtual nexus.

>		this is an interesting post. I hope I am not ruining the structure but I just wanted to add my thoughts. What I find most dangerous about Facebook is that it blurs the distinction between private and public. Under the facade that you are only communicating to your "friends" (as if you are engaging in 1:1 chatting,) you post your ideas,and express feelings in public. Also, people post on facebook voluntarily. They choose to open doors to their private lives on the internet. To some extent, this culture of communications through social media encourages people to voluntarily give up their privacy, and more importantly, create a culture that undervalues the notion of privacy.
