Recently, Facebook has been used as a tool to dig up stuff about people who are very likely to be investigated, and you may be one of them too. Though Facebook was initially used as a tool to find lose or old friends, or even make new friends, but it has now changed.

Facebook has now turned into a tool to explore on anyone that someone is interested in. Just less than a month ago, someone in the western country was who was taking monthly cash from a insurance company as she was in a depress state, then the insurance company decided to do a check on her, and found out that she frequently went to clubs to enjoy herself. Making this a reason for the insurance company not to pay the monthly money to her.

Today, I saw that it was now used in other different areas of investigation, like extramarital affairs (to find out who the third person is, and to gather evident), like stalkers, etc….

You might be asking how can I use Facebook again!!!

You can still continue to use Facebook as a way of means to communicate with your friends, as Facebook was created to be a social network tool. The thing is not to post words or photos that will not jeopardize yourself or your property. I have seem people used Facebook as a diary or journal telling everybody what they did, what they felt, what happened to them etc…

The thing is not to tell everybody your secret in Facebook or anywhere online.

Ya, it seems that people are stupid at times and telling everybody their problem, trying to get some sympathy replies in return. What they did not realize is that people judge what you put out there (on the Facebook).

Facebook privacy settings are very flexible and easy to change as well, here is a post on the 10 New Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know. Its great to prevent yourself or even decrease the chances of you being targeted of these bad news.

What I like to comment and I may be wrong, that not all people are the same, and they do not share the same values as you do. So I would recommend that you share with a friend face to face instead on Facebook. This way you can be sure that only a few knew about your situation and would advise you on solutions.

Facebook is still used for social network with friends, all you need to do is to be wise and smart in what you want to say or comment. I still like to use Facebook, because of Facebook applications, its friendly and yet easy to use tools. What do you say that we should do with Facebook in the near future? I like to hear about it.
