Are social networking sites harmful?

Of course, as in any other problem, there are pros and cons arguments. So I am going to take a look at the proofs and I’ll let you make an opinion on your own.
First the pros arguments. Facebook and many other social networking sites are good ways to socialize and make new friends, but they are also known for sharing photos, songs or web pages that you like to your friends. I’m sure that you saw that “like” sign on web pages. Facebook is also a great way for institutions to interact with ordinary people or for stars to keep their fans in touch with what they do (just an example). So as a general idea: social networking sites are good ways to get yourself popular quick.
But there are people that were disappointed by social networking sites. And they had a good reason to do it. I’m going to explain that to you with an example (it is probably that you know it – saw it on TV). An ordinary woman created an account on Facebook. She posted there photos of her house and photos with the interior of her house. She was shocked when discovered that she was robbed by some thieves while she was on a trip with her boyfriend. So the conclusion is that your personal information can be revealed without permission. Such server errors happen regularly and she was not the only unlucky person. So watch out and don’t put any personal details on your Facebook account.
