Are there any reasons NOT to open a facebook account?

Facebook is a great site that helps you get in touch with friends and family you probably wouldnt have otherwise. It will not harm your computer unless someone sends you a virus via a link in a facebook message. People cannot stalk you if you dont post your private information. Make sure to set your profile to private so nobody can view your info that you dont know.

Dont worry about it. i have used facebook for years and it is how we keep in touch with my mother in-law who lives in another state. Have fun!

It can be addicting. If you don't set your profile on private people (who you may not even know) can look at your pictures/wall posts/friends/personal info. that you put up for family only/etc. It's addicting, you may find yourself going on facebook for hours while not even doing anything. If you have friends that you take pictures with they may post pics of you that you don't want on there. But you can't do anything about it. I don't know about the CIA rumor, if it's true or false. But it could be.

Good thing about facebook is it's main point of being on there. For you to contact/chat with friends/family. Also there are fun game apps. if you like.

I think they are just rumors. Someone may be copying everything you write or your pictures but it's fine if you have your account private and don't add random people.
