Busted! 7 major Facebook don'ts
Don't use Facebook so much that you forget to interact with humans
According to a study, social networking sites like Facebook could raise risk of serious health problems. In reducing face-to-face contact with humans - emailing people instead of seeing them, for instance - could affect you in ways you never knew, reports The Daily Mail.
This could increase the risk of problems as serious as cancer, strokes, heart disease and dementia, Dr. Aric Sigman says in the Journal of the Institute of Biology.
Don't unfriend your wife (especially if she's still your wife)
When Richard Barton Jr. unfriended his wife on Facebook, she became suspicious, reports Michigan Live.
The Grand Rapids man took a new bride while he was still married to Adina Quarto, a Rhode Island woman. Quarto found photos of Barton's beach wedding, put two and two together, and reported his crime. Barton was charged with polygamy, which is a four-year felony.
Don't have the same name as a famous person or no one will believe you
That's what happened to Kate Middleton - only not the Kate Middleton who married Prince William. This Boston, Mass. woman has the same name as the princess. Facebook accidentally deleted her account because they thought she was a Kate Middleton impostor, reports AOL.
She wasn't the only Kate Middleton accused of being a fake. There was one Australian woman and two other British women in question.
Don't name your kids after Facebook
Remember that Israeli couple who named their kid Like after the Facebook button? And the Egyptian couple who decided to call their newborn Facebook? Please don't do that. We're fairly certain Facebook is here to stay - the social network shows no signs of going away, and people of the future will know what it is. When your baby grows up, he or she will be ridiculed by mean school kids for being named after an internet service.Don't be on Facebook if you're running from the law
We realize this tip is a controversial one, but that doesn't make it any less true. Word is, courts are using the social network to go after individuals who are otherwise unavailable. "In March, we reported on a lawyer who surprisingly used Facebook to contact a debtor and try to get them to appear in court," according to Scribbal.com. Doing so helps cases move along when people needed by the court system are not reachable via other means.
At the moment, New Zealand, Canada and the U.K. have adopted the process, but Bloomberg says the U.S. might be next in line to try similar practices.
