Facebook: What do we really know?

Facebook is a free social networking website created by Mark Zuckerberg and others at Harvard University. It allows users to connect with friends and share content. Social networking involves having profiles, friends lists, posts, and features unique to each site. While social media allows connecting with others, it can also expose users to threats if personal information is shared publicly. Users should customize privacy settings, be cautious what they post, and avoid sharing identifying information to stay safe online. Parents and teachers need to educate themselves on social networking to help guide students.
