[BITList] Facebook

[HUGH]

Have any members done much with Facebook?  I was persuaded by my daughter to sign up for it a few weeks back, but I've done little other than read the odd message from people who usually e-mail me.  I am aware of current concerns over the security of the network.  Today my daughter tried to log onto her Facebook via my computer, but found it impossible unless she used my password.  I now see that, when I enter Facebook as a search item online, no matter which access link I choose, it goes straight to my login page - it uses my computer.  So the bloody thing is bypassing my Firewall, which doesn't even list it.  I checked how to set the various permissions, and it's a labyrinth, so many will not even bother.  The default setting for some things is to allow everyone to see your details, so no wonder I found myself the other day being asked to be a friend to half the goddamned universe. So I found out how to get rid of it.  It takes 2 weeks.  A site I traced by entering "how do I get rid of, etc", gives a link.

Hugh.
