Social Networking: Is it good or bad?

A lot of people use social networking sites these days including me. They are a way of communicating to friends for some people but it can also be dangerous. If your privacy settings are set to public then any person can look and your profile and see the information about yourself that you have posted. I think it is better to have at least SOME privacy protection on your profile. Do you have any privacy settings for your profile? I do but its only limited. Maybe i should have more protection for my profile. You may also have some people that you are friends with on your social networking profile that arnt actually your friends. Do you want those people to know all of the information that you have posted on your profile? I know that I don't. I still think that social networking is fine and should only be allowed to ages 12 and up. But that is just me. So maybe after you read this you will go home and change your social networking profile settings to have at least some privacy. That would be the smart thing to do.

Why Should Kids Under the Age of 13 Not Use Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter

The Reason why kids under the age of 13 is because if they start using the site when they're younger than the required age would cause them to make up a fake age (around the age of 15-18 some might put an even more outrageous age than 15-18 and would post alot of private information that they think won't been seen by the public if they put the profile to public when the information will be visible to everyone and will easily get into trouble and not know whats gonna happen from they're actions.
