The social networking websites have many features, they are useful and fun too but they are not completely safe and definitely not perfect.
The users should really be careful and pay attention to what kind of information they are putting out there.
"Facebook" has privacy settings for us to adjust privacy level for all the different components of one's profile. However, everyone should be careful, pay attention, have the settings adjusted accordingly whenever they make a profile, a group, an event, and so on.
"Twitter" is basically all or nothing when it comes to others' access to your stuff. The people who "follow" each other can only see the "tweets" of the other. The location/place feature is often advised not to be turned on if you don't want certain people to know where you are. Not too much information and nothing too personal should be mentioned on the posts/"tweets." There is also some option to make "tweets" private. Also the user can select option to make Twitter ask the user before someone can follow you.
The users of relatively "open" social networking websites such as "Facebook" and "Twitter," should make sure to know when, where, and how much information to open up and share. Try to have only one genuine personal account, add only people you really know or at least can trust, and do not put up information that you don't want some strangers to know also. Take advantage of whatever privacy setting options that are already available and make sure to be always careful.
