Everyone knows Facebook. You can write updates about your life, post pictures, share information and music, and more. It has a huge impact on everyday life for millions of people.
There are many people who dislike Facebook, though. Facebook collects a lot of information about its users. It knows you and your friends' names, birth dates, likes and dislikes, locations, and so on. Facebook might also give this information to other companies.
Facebook has positive points too. People can keep in contact with old friends, for example. Facebook also helped the world know about the revolutions in Egypt and Libya.
