BECAUSE THEY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE THEIR FULL NAME!!!
Ok i will stop yelling. Putting your full name on your profile is like inviting Jason to your house for tea! I mean come on... At least make hatchet murder/stalker killer do a little work to find you!
But facebook has privacy settings that keep me safe right??? Yes they have privacy settings so no problem all`s good. Thank God for that...
So here`s the thing take for example the fictional character Ms NoStalkersPlease. Now she really doesn`t like to be bothered with pesky killer/stalkers. But she has lots of friends and wants to be on facebook too.
No problem sets up facebook account using real name as per instructions (so your friends can find you of course)... excellent. Load pictures hook up with old friends.. done.
Now Ms NoStalkersPlease is single and hoping to find that special soul mate kind of guy to round off her life. So off to the dating sites... set up profile keeping name private of course to protect you identity naturaly. Lots of creeps out there you know.
Enter the villain posing as gentle soulmate seeker on dating site but really lurking is axe swinging stalker. Incognito of course I mean stalkers like their privacy too you know.
Because Ms NSP wants to meet someone local she is willing to say at least what city she lives in. That`s not saying much I mean nobody knows her real name so should be ok.
Here`s what happens.. after chatting a bit with gentle soulmate seeker MS NSP decides to take things to the next level and sends him her msn address so they can chat a bit... Of course she doesn`t use her real name in her hotmail address that would be foolish so all is fine.
Now what do you think happens next??? Mr Stalker Incognito takes hotmail address to facebook uses the address for a friend invitation and BLAM facebook tells him who she is... Now isn`t that dandy.
Next thing you know Jason is over for tea... And that for sure is why facebook is evil!
