  8. Conclusion Facebook promotes obsessive disclosure, monitoring and/or surveillance as appropriate strategies for relationship development and maintenance

  9. Facebook Survey • How many “friends” have you added without actually knowing who they are? • Are you okay with family, classmates and/or strangers looking at your profile? • What have you revealed in your Facebook account? • What type of applications have you added to your account?

  10. Facebook and Social Networking • What do you use Facebook for? • In the past 3 months, how many strangers have you initiated to add as friends? • Would you accept strangers who added you as friends on Facebook? • When adding or accepting new friends, what criteria do you look at?

  11. A Study of Facebook Use in Canada • How often do you check your Facebook account? • How much information do you share online? • If a noteworthy event happened within your circle of friends, how are you most likely to hear about it?

  12. Consequences • Blurring of lines between “public” and “private.” • Facebook normalizes “creeping” and “Facebook stalking.” • Lack of sympathy for victims of o-ORI (i.e., people who do not monitor privacy settings).
