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.
Being a jerk wouldn't bother me so much. It was the things he said showing contempt for privacy that bothered me.

I understand glitches happen. I just think it's more high risk if you are putting up an unusual amount of personal information, and on a site owned by someone who publicly begrudges people's desires to keep their information private.
