Facebook Overhauls Safety Center, Loads it With Good Advice

The center, with tips for general protocol, as well as categories dedicated to parents, students, educators and law enforcement, aggregates content from around Facebook and the rest of the Web authored by experts on security and privacy. The members of the Facebook Safety Advisory Board, including Childnet International, the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) and WiredSafety, help build this repository of content that offers everything from basic instructions on how to report offensive content, to advice on how to handle a vindictive ex who has hijacked your profile.
The depth of information provided is surprising and we highly recommend everyone take at least a few minutes to peruse some of the advice. It may seem obvious (like don't give your password to anyone), but it can't hurt to reinforce good habits. [From: Facebook]

Facebook needs to 'face lift' a lot more than its safety issues. Their customer service is non-existent, their keyword search within their Help (haha) Center is the worst keyword search system I have ever seen, they have no standard 'how to' instructions whatsoever, and they generally seem to not care one whit about how much frustration they cause their members. I would venture a guess that their interest in safety is nothing whatsoever more than covering their fannies to avoid liability issues.
Facebook needs a lot of work to make it what it could be.

I found a flaw with photo restrictions for Facebook users. If you restrict viewing of you photos to your friends, anyone that visits their wall and clicks on a photo you posted instantly gets access to all photos in your album.

The more friends someone has on face book is a dead giveaway about their aga or maturity. Most mature adults have a small number of true friends while children and immature adults just add everyone as a friend even though they arent true friends. They think it makes them look popular, but it really crates the opposite image of them.
