I can vouch that Genie Singer is a safe friend, and exactly what it says on the can.

Facebook, however, is far from leakproof when it comes to your personal details, and slow to react when somebody uses your identity to establish a fake profile.

The first protective action to be taken is, IMHO, to reject all apps. They hand over your privacy, not just to Facebook, but to others using the same apps, not all of whom are your friends.

BE WARNED!

Facebook membership requires extreme caution. Remember, the fact that you haven't yet been targetted means simply that you haven't upset anyoneYET!

I know what I'm talking about. I (in common with several others) upset the BNP.
