Pros
- It’s easy! Setting up a profile is a smooth process, and the relatively uncluttered UI of the site is easy to navigate and use. It’s free and all you need is an internet connection and any device that can connect to the internet, mobile phones included.
- Beyond bounderies--
- Facebook transcends all physical boundaries, and lets your kids connect with far away friends and distant family. Your kids can easily be informed about what goes in the lives of people who are physically distant.
- Your child decides who to share with. Your child can choose who they would like to share their status updates, photos or check-ins with.
- A place to share thoughts, causes and ideas. Your child can interact with kids with similar interests and ideas across the globe. They can join groups and support fan pages, and find out what other kids are interested in.
- Privacy- Privacy is a major concern for most Facebook users, and it’s really important to understand the site’s privacy settings and set them accordingly. And even though a lot has been done to improve the site's security, it can still be confusing. As a result, hackers can have access to- and misuse- personal information.
- Time Comsuming - your kid could be playing outdoors, doing homework or doing other more meaningful things, insted of being on facebook.
- Freedom of expression- Other kids (or even your own for that matter) on Facebook could misuse that freedom and post innapropriate stuff, which your kids will see! It is a expression of freedom but sometime to much.
- Kids can be mean- cyberbullying can be a real problem. There are even some documented cases of kids who committed suicide after being bullied on social networks!
- Things aren't always what they seem-There are many fake Facebook accounts your child could be exposed to these.
- It’s addictive- Besides all the social features there are games on Facebook that can be very addictive. Did anyone mention Farmville?
- Whose image is it anyway- Once your child uploads an image to Facebook, it becomes public and anyone can download and misuse that image. No one can really tell if that it is really a person you think it is.
- It can hurt their future- kids can post regrettable information or photos that will be discovered by college admissions or potential employers in the future. Once information goes online, it never goes away. Even if it says it is deleted.
You see there are alot more cons then pros. Me and Carson both do not like Facebook.
I got this info from wikipedia
