Facebook Gave Nebraska Cops A Teen's DMs So They Could Prosecute Her For Having An Abortion

15. I'm on Facebook because my family and extended family is scattered

Around the country and I can keep tabs on their "adventures." But you have to go and edit your own information and make sure you aren't open to everyone. Also edit your information that they have listed. It's none of their business what school you went to. Also you often can't control if you're at an event and someone else tags you in their photo. So it's inevitable even if you aren't "on" facebook that your name and photo are out there from someone else posting. But if you are on FB, go in periodically and check when other people tag you, or even ask that they don't. I think because of some of those tags I keep getting "suggestions" from FB for friends that I don't even recognize who they are saying I have as mutual friends. And delete those who haven't posted on your site in ages or pissed you off.

Not to mention that some of the things "friends" post I'm appalled at, playing FB games that give away so much information that if a stranger came up to me and asked me I would say "None of your business" but things freely and breezily given away.
