Benefits and drawbacks
The main benefit to Facebook is that you are always connected to friends and family, you are always updated with what they are doing by statuses, pictures, videos and links. However there are disadvantages when it comes to this, some people post revealing pictures and maybe racist comments. This will stop companies employing certain people if they check the persons Facebook. Recently, at my own school, a student posted a status about a teacher which led to this student being expelled. This is an example of one disadvantage. The major negative about social networks is pedophiles, murderer, stalkers and criminals. The solution to this is to set your privacy settings so only you or your friends can see what you post.
