So.......

Case in point, facebook has downfalls. And whether they affect you consciesly or subliminally, there are side-affects. There's a lot that's kept under the rug in regards to what facebook does with our information, so it's important to be aware.
In the 'information and technology age', more and more people use the extremely powerful tool that is the internet as a tool to 'connect' with people and 'friends'. Personally, I'd prefer to stay away; ex-sponge myself from the realm of privacy deprivation and digital friendships.

Don't get me wrong, there's no doubting that facebook has many positive aspects, but user's need to determine if the negatives outweigh the positives. I'd strongly advise users to thoroughly familiarise themselves with facebook's privacy policies, because it is their personal information and their life. And should users continue their activities on this social networking platform, they should engage moderately to avoid possible toxic effects. Take a step back, weigh your options, and ask yourself, 'Is facebook really worth it?'.
