WHAT NOT TO POST ON FACEBOOK

i agree that you shouldnt put your full birthday date on facebook. i feel like that is kind of creepy. i put my birthday but not the year. i definately agree with beth givens when she said that givimg your date of birth and the place you were born at is like giving your financial security. in a way i think that is extremely true. there are many crazy theives and kidnappers out there. i feel like facebook users should know this information because it is important. One thing i found interesting  was researchers being able to discover thatt they could reconstruct social security numbers using an individual's birthday and place of birth. i did not know that your mother’s maiden name was an important peice of information because it is often the answer to security questions on many sites. i also learned that credit card companies, wireless service providers, and other firms often rely on this to protect personal information. i think it is sooo dumb to post up what your address is and where you live unless it is for a business matter. also i dont think that it is important for a persons  facebook freinds should post unnesessary things as their status. like for example posting when you will be away from home . especially when you dont know every single one of your freinds on facebook. i think that is rediculous. you also should not put your cell phone number down in the info section because it is not everyones business unless it is a business page.
