[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2138985, member: 372717"] Facebook is notorious as being very very dangerous in terms of personal information. But in general, if you put it out on the internet, you should assume it isn't necessarily secure, even if it is on a forum that requires registration. Just don't write anything that you don't want the government (or a big corporation) to know, because the info is there for them to browse and the AI will be there for them to pick up mention of any activities they are interested in. The internet provides huge benefits (eg this forum helps a lot of diabetics), but that has its downsides. Personally I thinks the benefits outweigh the downsides, but I am slightly careful about what I post (eg personal details about my children). [/QUOTE]
