Facebook users warned ‘honeymoon is over’

PSYCHOLOGISTS are warning Facebook’s 500 million users that “the honeymoon is over” and that the social networking site “is not about playtime anymore”.

In a review of data on Facebook, Dublin Business School psychologist Dr Ciarán McMahon has said that every professional needs to look at what they are writing about online as it can affect their relationship with clients.

While most people interviewed expressed concern about privacy issues, men, he said, were much less likely to use their privacy settings than women and were still sharing potentially dangerous information.
