Possible arguments:
Bullies and Safety for children
The Internet can be a dangerous place to post personal information. All social networks should provide the ability to set profiles to private in some way or another. Additionally they should have the ability to report and block users.
The best social network sites keep profiles and search options private enough that the only people that can find you are the ones actually looking for users in their own school or neighborhood networks. Even with a completely public profile, users shouldn’t be bothered with more than a couple of unsolicited comments or messages.
Time management
Personal problem
Take away face time/ puling people apart / isolation
More researchers see technology as a social adhesive rather than something driving us apart. Josh Bernoff with Forrester Research says, "a lot of people have difficulty forming friendships. But these new social channels are so diverse and so nonthreatening that they open people up and are likely to increase social interaction.
Rather than keep people isolated and away from public places, Internet use is actually associated with engagement in places such as parks, cafes and restaurants, thus leading to increased exposure to a more diverse group of people and points of view.
The millions of Americans who have embraced social-networking sites might not be surprised by the new findings from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, showing Social networking users tend to have larger and more diverse networks of close confidantes than those who do not use them.
"These sites help you connect to your tribe," says San Francisco Bay Area entrepreneur Randy Hlavin. "Like-minded people can connect quickly through e-mail, then build relationships that deepen once they're face to face out in the community."
Suzette Cavanaugh, an instructor in social-media marketing at the UC-Santa Cruz agreed. "Earlier research made the false assumption that if you were not communicating face to face, you were socially isolated. The reality is that the technology allows, and even encourages, more communication with more people."
Some statistics overplayed the tech angle, largely ignoring other possible alienating forces.
