Social networks can take advantage of people

Yes, we all know that social networks can be beneficial, but it can also be unbeneficial and even dangerous.

Disadvantage:

- Sell our personal information to advertising companies

- Receive lots of junk emails

- Identity theft

Each day social networks collect so much of personal data from everyone. With knowing or not knowing, we let those applications to collect and share our data.

That is why we need to be conscious what kind of information we allow to share publicly such as birthday, address, and phone number. Lastly but most importantly has different username and password for different social networks.
