The Cons of social networking sites

 
 
  • While social networking sites have become places for establishing connections and meeting friends, they have also become likely places for identity theft and fraud.
 
  • You have to provide certain information such as your e-mail address, name, and location, others use these information and pretend to be you, especially when they are into illegal activities.

  • Furthermore, someone pretending to be somebody else can make you believe that he or she is up to some business offer, ask to meet up with you, and take your money. It has also become easier for someone to stalk you and harass you online.
 
  • Increasingly it has also become a dating point for youth, the girls keep chatting, dating outside but parents do not know that what is going on.
