Following the recent Facebook privacy scandal, have you changed your behaviour on Facebook? Are you conscious about how much you share and are you worried about your privacy?

When i first went on-line about 10 years ago i all my friends and work colleagues were already on Facebook , all they seemed to talk about was how great it was , so i decided to take a look , what i saw did not really impress me , could not see the point , or any benefit , in telling every man and his dog what i was doing every minute of every day . My friends all said i was crazy , Facebook is a great site , and i would be missing out on a lot , but i stuck with my gut instinct and never tried Facebook again . Over the years i have heard so terrible stories about people on Facebook and what has happened to them , like posting holiday snaps while on holiday and returning home to find your house burgled .I have never regretted my choice of " No Facebook ", and now after the recent privacy scandal i feel i made a good choice , with someone always coming up with a new way to steal/access our private information , I'm very hesitant these days to share/supply much info at all on-line , the less info i put out there the safer i feel. So for me Facebook is a big NO .
