Well of
course you haven't; they're not here!

He has had to retract some, but the fact that he ever thought that way makes him not trustworthy to me.

Yeah, he's a jerk, as most 26-year-old billionaires would be. I know that's not an excuse but the IPO will be coming soon, at which point he'll discover that when he jams his foot in his mouth it starts to cost shareholders real money.

Those issues, from what I've seen, were caused by 3rd-party apps and not FB itself. Again, not a justification, but there is no such thing as 100% secure in any event. I won't use any of the apps on FB, and I've only entered contests when I know who the contest sponsor is (and verified it by going to their site). It all comes down to common-sense; it's no more "high risk" than the rest of the 'Net.
