Why wouldn’t you just not use it, if that is your concern?

  I see this argument a lot. For myself anyhow, it's because all of my friends and family use it to share photos and memories, and I am able to stay connected to people who I no longer have the same amount of time to stay connected to as I used to. There are certainly fantastic parts about Facebook and other social networks, but that doesn't mean care should not be applied to how they are used.

  It's because everyone uses it, so it's highly suspicious if you don't use it. Also if you don't use it, it leaves open the door for others to define your digital identity. Someone could open a profile with my first name and last name and share pictures that are meant to debase, defame or something else. At least if I share something, I can push something that I want and define myself what is my digital identity. Plus the other which is being able to be contacted by remote family or other high school contacts etc.

    But you can just have a profile and not post anything... surely that’s better than posting fake content?
