Introduction
Facebook connects you with the people you know and care about. It enables you to communicate, stay up-to-date, and keep in touch with friends and family anywhere. It facilitates your relationships online to help enhance them in person. Specifically, Facebook connects you with the people you know around content that's important to you. Whether you’re the type to take photos or look at them, or write about your life or read about your friends’ lives, Facebook is designed to enable you to succeed. Maybe you like to share websites and news, play games, plan events, organize groups of people, or promote your business. Whatever you prefer, Facebook has you covered.
Facebook offers you control. Communication and information sharing are powerful only when you can do what you want within your comfort zone. Nearly every piece of information and means of connecting on Facebook come with full privacy controls, allowing you to share and communicate exactly how — and with whom — you desire.
Facebook welcomes everyone: students and professionals, grandchildren (as long as they're at least age 13), parents, grandparents, busy people, celebrities, distant friends, and roommates. No matter who you are, using Facebook can add value to your life.
