As an FYI, I am a Cyber Security Professional, I hold the CISSP, SSCP and teach Cisco A+ classes.
Facebook is only as dangerous as what YOU or your family posts. Since I have written five books, two on Lugers, I think that trying to hide that I own lugers is a silly thought. So, Facebook keeps me in touch with relatives who are In Washington State and other areas, so, I am aware of the risks, mitigate them and I am fine.
What is the biggest risks to you are all the HUNDREDS of companies that have your personal info, medical info, etc that are horribly un-secured. BTW, if memory serves me correct; it is estimated that almost 1/2 to 2/3rds of all people in the USA have had their information stolen.
Add up the big businesses that have been compromised (those you know about).
OPM (Office of personnel Management - govt)
Target
Home Depot
Anthem
United
Staples
Large supermarket chains
ETC
