[QUOTE=tbirdtbird;765513]Play with Facebook all you want.

But be aware that FB uses YOUR computer as part of a peer-to-peer network to promote THEIR content without your knowledge or permission. This opens your computer up to additional virus threats and will slow your computer down. You have to be fairly technically saavy to figure this out, but if you get onto an older, slower computer, and look at the command line ( the very bottom-most left corner of the screen) when FB is loading, you will see a call to a company called akamaihd (in Massachusetts) via this domain:"

I am MUCH LESS worried about Facebook, than I am the NSA and the government keeping a file of every email and phones call we all make.
