Post title: a dissenting opinion !
I have been on FB for over 5 years, with my real name, DOB, place where I was born & studied etc. and nothing horrible happened to me. It is a nice place to share pictures and chat with friends from other countries (I have over 1,500 posted pictures). It is not more dangerous that the ATA list ! It depends what you post and what links you open ! I have seen more translators being scammed when their names were picked from the ATA list, than from FB. It is a matter of common sense how to use it, but I know many people (especially in my age-group) that are paranoid about it. :-)
