Security services are well into facebook. If you put your details down on there, they never get erased. Muppets!

Oh shi- you mean the cops are now going to know what my favourite bands are? Or should I just not update my status to "Weeler is plotting a terrorist attack".
Tell me this; what can the police get from my facebook that they couldn't already get from their files, special branch archive of pics/videos or from the time they raided my house?

It's not security services I'd be worried about, if they wanna get you they'll get you 
Possibly some low-level wankers might sign up as a friend and get a few names and whatnot. But I'm not too bothered about that.

Don't Principia Dialectica have a myspace? Yes, they do. Also they had a known fascist amongst their friends list, epic fucking old man fail.

the guvmint certainly can't get much off of facebook that they couldn't already get off of cell phones records.
However it is becoming more common for employers to look you up on social networking sites, something to keep in mind.

It helps combat that danger if you use a pseudonym, so that only people with your personal email or who know what ur likely to use as ur pseudonym can look you up. It doesn't even matter if its an obviously fake name (like mine...Ive got my middle & surnames as "Kaze no Kae" <_<), they still need to know what to look for.

You don't need to do that - you can control your privacy settings completely and just set yourself as private so no one can search for you on there.

I've actually seen a couple of job ads that mention "show us your amazing facebook profile" now - admittedly they were for internet marketing or some such crap.

I agree with the sentiment, but in practice its sometimes wise to limit candour - for example, not showing your employers the perfect excuse to discipline you, or not encouraging them to get the fuzz down to your next direct action by advertising it where they can easily snoop on you.

surely advertising will always do this?

Unfortunately, the dynamic at a lot of workplaces is that it would be unpolitic to deny a friend request from an immediate supervisor. I've at least had that dilemma at one workplace, where all of my co-workers were "friends" with the management.

Hence why its smart to use a pseudonym. They can't add you if they can't find you.

Bump because we now have a fan page, we might drop the other two and just keep fan page in future because that seems like the best way of keeping in touch with people:

I reckon this should be libcom's official facebook presence: http://www.facebook.com/pages/LibCom/97747443299
Isn't this a bit of a bad idea, security wise?
