Do you find yourself spying on other peoples facebook page? Its an awful habit and I know people do it. Some live through other peoples pages. I really think facebook and this other social media junk has ruined peoples self esteem,personal relations skills , and so much more. I do not participate but I know people I work with are always spying on others..I find it so intrusive!

The problem with America is that they believe every living soul is on FB. They're not. And for those who are on FB, their posts are always the truth!? How could it be otherwise? Certainly no one would lie!!

Many people have nothing to do with their spare time. And come to work the next day to tell you what they did since they had nothing to do.

So when you eavesdrop on what they have to say, include yourself with those who have nothing to do.

"Spying"? The only thing that might be considered spying is if you are still "Friended" by someone you once considered a friend but no longer do, i.e. you now don't like them or you wish them ill, or will attempt to use "information" to do them ill.

Any intelligent human being knows how to keep non-friends out of their FB if they choose to do so. If it is their choice to let anyone and everyone read whatever they feel like posting, it's either their ego speaking, or in the case of celebrities, a deliberate action to gain publicity. I don't see how this is any different on FB than it would be watching TMZ or ET or reading The Star. It's put out there to entertain people in one way or another.

And to make some people feel superior to others. *cough*

No, I do not participate in the Facebook world.

I'm not a facebook member so the only pages I check now and then are public pages.

I don't really understand why anyone would think they're "spying" on Facebook.

With the proper privacy settings, only those who are our "friends" can see what we post.

The answer on social media is always the same: If you don't want people to know about it, don't post it.

It can't be spying if it's posted for the world to read.

Spying? How is it spying if someone chooses to read stuff other people post on Facebook? Facebook is kind of like a "personal newspaper". Each FB user decides what he/she wants to publish about him/herself, and decides who gets access to their news. If you can access it, you're either their FB friend or they're putting it out there for the whole world to read. In either case, why not read it if you want to?

OMG... DD posts EVERYTHING on FB... so do our nieces and nephews! It's getting better, but things such as "today I had this at so and so restaurant" (picture shown) were commonplace... and she has thousands of "friends!" ROTFL

[Hooty]

If you are checking out "friends" pages, it is certainly not "spying", and after all, some people you do not know personally, maybe using fake names and are not who they say they are ..... imagine that!
