Dangers a social networking

One of the most popular social networking sites is Facebook. While Facebook restricts members to those who use a ".edu" email address, this may give you a false sense of security.

Other social networking sites such as Myspace, Friendster, and Xanga offer even less security and protection because they are open to anyone.

Because students often post detailed and specific information on Facebook (including phone numbers, addresses, class schedules, social plans, etc.) you can be more easily stalked by strangers (or even acquaintances).

Impact on Schooling and Employment

Students are getting in trouble with University administrators for incriminating and inappropriate information or pictures on their social networking profiles that are violations of school policy or the code of conduct. (Note: Administrators are not monitoring social networking sites; however, if information or pictures on a student's account that violate policy are brought to their attention or are reported to them, they will follow up and investigate further.)

Students are being turned down by employers for jobs, internships and even interviews because of the information employers are finding out about students on their social networking accounts.

Compromising and inappropriate pictures, statements or other information on student social networking accounts can hurt students' chances to gain (or even be considered for) employment. Employers take the images that students are portraying on social networking sites very seriously as a reflection of personal character.

I think that most people isn't prudent since disclose personal details and don't use well the socials networking it could be dangers because personal details can see people unknown they can make use of your personal data.
