Facebook and the people who work for Facebook gets paid for advertising on people's pages. By liking pages and posting statuses, Facebook knows what you like. Basically they're tracking you and everything you do. Other websites get paid from doing it too such as Twitter, Myspace and other social network sites. If you are engaged an advertisement might be on the side of your profile page showing you nice wedding cakes. Some of the advertisements might be against you as well. For example if you live in Philadelphia and a lot of people in the state don't have a lot of money or have a hard time paying bills, they might think think you can't pay your bills as well. Some people worry about what they post of websites and think it might change some things.
I have a Twitter, if I post a tweet people might think it's about them and may want to argue with me. I posted my number on Facebook and people started to prank call my cell phone. Sometimes i'll be mad and post something but can't delete it later on. I can also post a video of me making a fool of myself. One time i gave someone my password and they hacked my computer and gave it a virus. Sometimes I do worry about the stuff I post on the internet. People in the Facebook company can track what I say but I really could careless because I delete my cookies and history all the time.
