To Facebook or Not to Facebook?"

Before becoming a user on Facebook, I felt like an outsider. I thought it was the top coolest thing and I was one of the only ones without one. Once starting my own account I was pleased to see that you can not only meet new people and send messages, but also post pictures or videos. In my eyes the greatest benefit is being able to keep in touch with far away family and friends for free. I'm able to communicate with family in Chicago, as well as in Mexico. Although facebook seems great, it still has its flaws. Some of the many risks is all the ads and pop-ups that come up. Also many people can make false accounts and unfortunately become friends with young children. It isn't a very safe program. After reading the article I now see that they really aren't even trying to improve the privacy on Facebook! What's up with that?
