There are settings that you can set to make sure WHO can view your profile or pictures etc. Make sure you SET them, otherwise, the default MAYBE is anyone/everyone can view your profile and pictures.

No, the default is set to protect you.
 
I have found it quite useful for checking out people we are interviewing for jobs ! I understand that the government and police use it for missing people, immigration and other useful purposes..

I think since its inception World Work Productivity has gone down about 20% !

now thats not so great

i can see how tho... ive just scanned my email accounts with the facebook thingo and it brings up all these people that i never even knew there actual names before , quite scary actually , glad i used a dodgy mail account to join up with and not my normal "trader "/ business email accounts
 
Facebook is a great way to keep in contact with people. I find some people use it as a day to day way of keeping people up to date on what they are doing. Others like myself usually us it as an alternative to emailing video and photos to family members.

Try searching for groups - old schools, workplaces, sporting groups, etc. You will be suprised.

Just make sure you protect your details so you have control over who can see your information.

You can delete people if they harrass you and it will stop all communication.

Overall it's pretty good and you should enjoy searching it.
 
This article is a couple of years old now, but is perhaps even more relevant now.

Iran's blogfather: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are killing the web

https://www.theguardian.com/technol...ook-instagram-and-twitter-are-killing-the-web

Social media (and Facebook in particular) has usurped almost all aspects of the web and reduced everything to a like count. All the content is here one day and gone the next. There is no sense of importance or permanence, just likes and one sentence throwaway comments.

Social media has reduced the internet to a non-stop conveyor belt of mind numbing, disposable banalities.

You just reminded me of an English TV series "Black Mirror" and an episode called NOSEDIVE. Do you think this will become reality in time to come?

"The episode is set in a world where people can rate each other from one to five stars for every interaction they have, and which can impact their socioeconomic status".

Not great quality but can watch it here:


By the way, I use Facebook but locked down and block the rubbish. Heaps of options and can even block those annoying baby/selfie photos haha.

An app called F.B. Purity for all the usual internet browsers.
 
Farcebook has almost completely morphed into a "like" factory for feminine mushy everything. The only angry stuff is about the lame Federal Govt. I blame everyone who doesn't think manly like me.

You're confusing manliness with anger and outrage. That's just grumpy old man talk.
 
I don't use it. I set up an account some time ago purely for the purpose of storing pictures to display on forums but as that doesn't work on ASF I haven't bothered with it since.

To me it's an outlet for zombie browsing and key logging and not much else really.

I did the same. I guess my distaste for it stems from seeing my GF poorly adjusting from that artificial world to the real one intervened by her post-Facebook pre-makeup morning mask
