Facebook DangersEssay Preview: Facebook DangersReport this essayAbstractFacebook creates many dangers that are unseen by many of its users. These dangers are mostly due to predators that lurk online, waiting to take advantage of an unsuspecting person on a social networking site such as Facebook. The dangers Facebook has are doubled for those people who are addicted to the website. Those people who are so called Facebook addicts need to find ways to limit their time on Facebook to protect them. In addition, the people on sites like Facebook need to limit the amount of personal information they disclose on their profile. The people that fill in every category possible to describe themselves on Facebook such as address, phone number, current city and others are also very probable to be victims of predators. These people need to break the addiction to Facebook and put less personal information on their profile to protect themselves from this imparticular danger.
Determining the Threat of Online Violence When it comes to online violence, there is also a lot of information available that would dissuade some people from taking steps to curb the use of social media. However, some people have already begun to put more information into the world that is less likely to give people a false sense of security. In fact, some people have started using social networking sites as bait to lure users to the web. One of the most popular social sites is Facebook. People can be seen posting pictures of themselves, talking to each other and sometimes shooting photos of themselves. Another popular place to post a picture of itself is as a social media account with a Twitter handle. At first it is easy to start doing this by posting one or many pictures of yourself. If the picture is of you with your face covered with a jacket or jacket without your face covered, the online communities that people are posting to may be more like a place for you to keep a record with any friends that you might be friends with, where you can keep a record of the conversations about a specific issue or situation. These communities often include people in need of help they can turn to an official body by getting help themselves on a website. Some forums, for example, offer assistance services on how to post for help on other sites and can allow you to post to another social networking site without a website on its own. Sometimes, some experts suggest calling on an agency or a representative of a mental health organization for help in posting pictures of yourself. Some even offer ways that people using social networks can seek help through a government agency with a trained psychologist and a mental health professional. It is important to note that this post may take too long to read this one so be patient. The following are links to many of the social networking websites and resources in this article. To avoid having to do it in the rush to download a copy of the article, you can look at these other websites that are already available and click on the links to download the articles online.
The Anonymous Project The Anonymous Project is the most active online community of Anonymous members and the most widely reported. As part of the larger community, the Anonymous Campaign has been building relationships with the other members to gather information from other Anonymous volunteers. The Anonymous Volunteer Fund has been raised to support the growing Anonymous Project. The Community Relations Centre has been established of sorts of to help individuals who are not able to attend Anonymous events and attend meetings. We are seeking Anonymous volunteers from all parts of society to help fill in the online role that some of us can make. If you have not been able to volunteer for any of our main groups then you may want to go to the Anonymous Project website using the instructions provided. This site has been used to organize most of our chapters and is not affiliated with the Anonymous Project. Just because something is not posted online it does not mean it is not true to the message that it is posted on. Just because the Anonymous Project is not mentioned by one of the groups listed on the site does not mean that some of its members and others in these groups are completely certain who it is that wants to post its information. Many people believe they are not posting their personal information because they are doing something that is not supposed to be done in the name of Anonymous. This is certainly not correct, at least not for me. I have a few things that I have done about using social media that should not be called “disclosure”, but that are still called “disclosure” under the current law. I have been arrested for public intoxication in 2004 and I have been detained by police for four years in 2014. They took me to jail on public intoxication charges because I was drinking too much alcohol. I was arrested again for public intoxication, in January 2015. I was arrested on the date

Facebook is a popular social networking site, which has over 350 million members worldwide and growing, who collectively spend time on the website every day, checking in with friends, writing on peoples electronic walls, clicking through photos and generally keeping pace with the drift of their social world (Hafner, 1). With this high of popularity of a website though comes extreme vulnerability, vulnerability in the sense of people taking advantage of the unknowing users. Some of those 350 million members that have a Facebook account are not using the website for checking in with friends or keeping up with their social world but for something, that endangers people. Those users use Facebook to attempt to take advantage of unsuspecting men, women, boys, and girls. This is a substantial danger, especially for the younger users because they are so unsuspecting of a person on Facebook, attempting to take advantage of them. People who use Facebook do not fully understand the hidden dangers that lurk on this website thus should think twice about what information they disclose on this website for there is the risk that a predator may access your personal information and use it for what they wish.
There is a compelling argument about how Facebook has caused addiction in some cases to some of its users. Can a website really cause an addiction? According to psychologist Dr. Kimberly Young, “yes it can.” Dr. Young said she had spoken with dozens of teenagers trying to break the Facebook habit (Hafner, 1). Dr. Young also stated, “It is like any other addiction and it is hard to wean yourself” (Hafner, 1). The average time spent on Facebook in a month for a typical user is 169 minutes, according to ComScore (Hempel, 1). That number of 169 minutes a month may not seem like someone is addicted, but I know some people who spend hours each day on Facebook. I am one of those people. I spend probably at least two hours per day on Facebook. I would consider myself addicted to Facebook, every time I sit down at the computer the first thing I do without even thinking is go to Facebook.com. I sometimes am sidetracked on Facebook for hours. Facebooks addiction problem affects all ages not just the younger children. Dan Kimball has proof of the addiction in colleges as he says, while visiting a Christian college, I was sitting in the back of the classroom and noticed that about a third of the students were surfing Facebook or MySpace while the professor was passionately teaching the New Testament (Kimball, 1). The college students are not alone in addiction. The societys youth ranging from ages eight to sixteen also seem quite attached to this website. It is extremely dangerous to have a child between these ages to have a un- monitored Facebook account, due to the information that a young teen or child could potentially make available on their profile. If a parent monitors the account, then they can control what information is disclosed and help protect their child. Facebook addiction is something that needs to be taken seriously because it can have various negative effects. The more active a person is on Facebook, the more likely the online predators will target them.
Many people do not realize that there are predators online that will attempt to access your information for their own benefit, whether that benefit is sexual, physical or even for cyber bullying. The problem is not that the predators add the unsuspecting as friends on Facebook, the problem is the information that you choose to display on your Facebook. Facebook has multiple categories to describe yourself on its site such as, name, address, phone number, hometown, current city, where you work, where you attend school, your birthday, and many other categories. Putting all of this information on your Facebook is such a dangerous thing to do. To access the information all a predator has to do is click the info button on your Facebook wall; sometimes even if you are not friends with a person,
