I'm have been using Facebook for 5 years and at the beginning had a profile with as much information as possible, my phone number, email address, which town i lived in, name of the street i lived on, my birth dates and so on.
But after a while I realized that i did not want to share all this information with people I've never met, so i decided to change my settings so that only my friends where allowed to see my information, but as Jessica Elgot wrote in her the article 'From relationships to revolutions: seven ways Facebook has changed the world', Facebook has changed the definition of “friend”.
A friend on Facebook can be a person you knew 5 years ago or a person you met at the bar, on Facebook you cant place them in different groups, on Facebook there's no difference between them.
So i decided to change my settings once again so that only i can see my information.
Do i really want to share anything on Facebook?
Now I don't even check my Facebook wall, I only use it for the messenger function.
Do you think I should delete my account?
