According to American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), Facebook is responsible for 1 out of every 5 divorces in the United States.

81% of the country’s top divorce attorneys say they have seen an increase in the number of cases for divorce. People who are more into social networking mainly Facebook tend to break up more.

Facebook is the unrivaled leader for online divorce evidence with 66% citing it as the primary source. I guess when people share more information about their personal lives and lead more people into it. Relationships do suffer.

We always should think before sharing, now. 🙂 Share you views about it with me here.

thanks Himadri, for bringing this up. Let’s get serious now; this madness has been going already for too long. It’s time we started using Facebook wisely and sparingly too. I’ve seen so many people getting burned in FB because they over-commented something or they wrote something they shouldn’t have. And as we know, written speach stays. FB is a fantastic tool and it’s a pity that many users are exposed irreversibly, many times accidentally even by their own actions.
