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."Wouldn't you be better educating them on how to use it safely rather than just trying to ban them? And why not install the tools you have on their computers? I'm not keen on Facebook but it is a technology that is out there being used by a lot of people and it isn't likely to go away any time soon. Education has to be better than censorship.
