No Facebook for the family.

I tend to spend more time educating family members about safe
browsing/social networking habits opposed to scaring them away from
the internet. Are there a lot of bad scary things out there? Yes. Is
there a legitimate use for social networking. Yes.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] No Facebook for the family.

It all started when I received a friend request from my mother. Helloooo..
I effectively got my sister and mother to cancel their Facebook accounts
with this email. hehehe.

"I don't like that you guys are on Facebook.

I won't let <wife's name> use it. Remember anything you post is there
forever. People can use anything you post to obtain information about you
and your family. It can also be used by spammers and other malicious users
to solicit you and trick you into clicking links that can possibly steal
your identity.

When I use it I ignore all the silly requests sent by users and keep my
posts to a minimum. I only signed up to connect with people from high
school.? Besides, I know how to use the Internet (no offense) and have tools
in place to protect my computers. ;)

<mom>, why do you need this?

Ok that's my .02 cents."
