@Ash I am not being disingenuous and some of your information is just plain inaccurate. If you look at the history of facebook it has always been designed to be limited to ur social circle and that is where it provides the greatest advantage. facebook actually is starting to charge for sending messages to people who you are not friends with. In addition I have ignored lots of people and not a single one of them ended up in my feed. And yes like everything else that means guns, internet, facebook and anything else you can come up with – if you dont know how to use them properly and make the proper gedarim than dont use them (as i keep on saying). You are creating a straw man here. I am not in favor of unfettered usage (or in the case of facebook any usage) by kids. And considering the fact that i got my apartment, dining room set, and my job through facebook you are going to have a hard time convincing me that it is just a convenience. I would not consider myself to be that facebook savvy and I have never had any of the issues you have listed. Most of the privacy concerns people in the secular world have had are of OTHER people seeing your stuff not vice versa. Your last paragraph betrays your ignorance because if you knew how teenagers were using instant messaging particularly AIM before facebook you wouldn’t be so quick to label it as a kosher option.
