There are many different ways that Social Networks can be used outside of its intended purpose to connect people with other people. Corporations are creating pages on Facebook for themselves and products. Politicians are requesting their constituents and commenting on their photos. Many can even argue President Obama would not have gotten as much support if he had not utilized social networking.
This doesn’t present so much of a dark side as a creepy side, but than again thats what the Privacy Settings are for. The dark side of social networking is that it essentially a giant database of everyone that can include a deep profile of you digital life, that can be accessed by law enforcement and other entities without proper cause or even our knowledge. But we adapt. We need to choose what goes online and what stays in the real world.
