This document discusses various ways that Facebook use can negatively impact individuals and relationships. It notes that 500 million people use Facebook daily, with the average user having more Facebook friends than real-life friends. Excessive Facebook use is linked to relationship problems like divorce, as users overshare details of their personal lives. Additionally, Facebook enables new forms of bullying, privacy issues arise from oversharing personal information online, and many users do not trust Facebook to protect their privacy and data. In conclusion, the document argues that society's obsession with Facebook may have gone too far.
