Man, this sounds so much like the safe sex talk, it's scary.  Doubly so
since it's going from child to parent.

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."

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.
