Facebook is fairly safe, as long as you keep most to yourself. People will still be able to look you up if they hack, but well, you have done your best and limit as much information as possible from prying eyes.

Facebook is actually a pretty safe website if you don't accept friend requests from people you don't know and you put your account in private.

Remember, the people you add probably know most of the trivial details about you (ie. email, birthday, family) so you shouldn't put too much up to risk it. All personal information is valuable to advertising companies, and they pay to collect them, even through hacking. So if you limit the personal information you have there, it should be safe from non-hackers.

Facebook is actually a pretty safe website if you don't accept friend requests from people you don't know and you put your account in private. People can't read your conversation if your in private so then it is pretty safe. Also, people that are not members cannot search private peoples names. Unless they hack which a lot of people do... Anyway, yeah, facebook is safe!

Is Facebook safer than aim?

AIM is safer since only your friends can see your info and you are only talking to your friends. People do tend to chose facebook over AIM. Ithink facebook can be less safe, and more safe. if you let all of your information out, it is less safe because everyone can see it..... if you make your photos and info more private (just to your friends... or better, no one!), then you are safe with facebook... hope this helps!
