Are you on Facebook? And is it ruining your life?



"Isn't this disgraceful!!!"



Of course, because the Mail doesn't understand it, ergo all young people are immediately tarnished as "addicted to Facebook".



Chances are if shes a full time Mum she doesn't get to meet too many people, but then I suppose in Mail land she should hire a nanny



Harry proving that he clearly has no idea what todays teenagers are into. You can almost hear him mutterin "In my day..." into his cocoa



Yes, and people who go to newspaper websites in order to tell the world what they think must be pretty badly addicted...



Next week, Government announces it will ban internet, and Donald Dehaviland will be going ape about "more banning by the ban brigade, PC gone mad" etc



Well done Victoria, how did that one get through the net?

I'm suprised no-ones mentioned paedophiles using it yet, presumably either they haven't grasped the fact or believe everything is about paedophiles online

DeHaviland is a troll, mwahaha

Troll? Donny is at the cutting edge of subversive internet satire!

I think he is also a pisstake



Only an idiot would waste time reading the Mail, there may be millions of them but they're all idiots

i'm beginning to wonder why the mail and express fear facebook so much. is it the usual fear of new things or is there some other motive, e.g. do they see it as a rival to their sites?

I suspect it might be something to do with this...


I will be fair and post the pro-mail groups too:


So that's 19,010 against, and 193 for.


There are also:


And almost worryingly, a pro-littlejohn:


Also..



And lastly



Though of course it may have nothing to do with any of that

Aside from the fact that the majority of people's friends on Facebook tend to be their actual real-life friends, his whole position here is ludicrous. If you're stupid enough to meet someone after barely any online contact then yes, it will likely be disappointing, but in all honesty, everyone I've met from the internet has turned out to be exactly like I expected. I met up with a Croatian chick off a forum after several months of emails, IM conversations, exchanges of pictures and, crucially, phone calls, and five years later we're still together, still very much in love and engaged to be married. Despite her supreme hotness, talking to her over the internet required me to get to know her really well, unlike meeting someone in a bar where you're likely to be focused on the possibility of johnson-related action. I was more sure she was right for me before we eventually commenced with the physical than I have been of anyone else I've been with. Seems to me that in some cases it's actually quite a good way to get to know the real person.



Heh, I wonder if that's self-censorship, naivety, word filtering, or whether the Mail comment mods changed it from the more traditional 'camwhore'.



Says R.D. Mcdowell, er, on the internet. Perhaps he IS a machine...



Too busy being filled? [basic content of this joke © Peep Show]



Shit, really?

I first contacted my current girlfriend via Facebook (after meeting her briefly).

I have more sex than any of those commentators.

Ridiculous!
All my facebook friends are my friends and acquaintances in real life!
I use it to organise events, talk to people whom I don't see often, and help run my day to day life. If anything I go out more because of it!
Plus I use it to show my thoughts and feelings on matters, using the groups! It's great! Shall we get a Mailwatch group? We could link to this site to increase knowledge of it...

Does it count if you met your current gf over MySpace? If so... strike two...

There already is one, I think.

Yes there is, it's here:
http://soton.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2370970872

Oooh, I didn't know about some of these facebook groups

also, yes, I mostly use facebook in order to join amusing anti-DM groups. I admit it.

Of course!

Millions of girls using Facebook, Bebo and Myspace 'at risk' from paedophiles and bullies



Wind up?
