Facebook was too much of a privacy and security risk for
me. I never signed up. However I still fell victim to
facebook: A friend, trying to get me to sign up, created
a "convince (my name here) to sign up for facebook!"
group, and posted my email address on the main page. He
didn't realize this was publicly available. My spam
volume shot up. It was months before I figured out why.
sigh. At least he illustrated a part of why I won't join,
I guess.
