arstechnica.com — Social networking site members are also putting themselves at risk of identity theft, according to the CA/NCSA study. 74 percent have willingly given out personal information on the Internet, which seems high until you consider that the study's definition of personal information includes e-mail addresses.

I would think that almost everyone on Facebook is an adult (i.e. over the age of 18) - anyway, the only restriction is a *.edu e-mail, right? Plenty of professors, etc. who have those.

Facebook lets you set up a network for any high school, so unless a lot more people are being held back these days...
