Well, most stuff people needs security for are not hard secrets. They need to be shared with others. The trick is you only want certain people to know them, not *everybody*.

Life is all about risk mitigation. You cannot sit on your sofa all day long because you might get run over by a car if you go out. Eventually you will starve and die. That is the reason why you go out using reasonable precautions, which is what all of this is about.

So yeah I think skipping Facebook for your family comms is a reasonable precaution, specially because you can do what Facebook suposedly facilitiates... without Facebook.
