Facebook is only what you make it. I'm very sparing about the details I put about myself on facebook.

US govenment knows my location when photos are uploaded immediately. I realize this while I'm on vacation. My family doesn't know that they work for intelligence agencies. My cellphone can be left in a different location, but they would still know where I am if somone tagged me in a photo.
