4. another disadvantage of social networking site particularly facebook is about the "facebook ban spurs picket at Ateneo de Davao".

5.Last but not the least is about the disadvantage of social networking site Twitter. In the twitter world, there is a thing that they call "twitter wars" these wars were usually connected to celebrities but by this time Philippine government officials had also exchange barbs online.

this is not a good matter because also, social sites serves as a ground for war. this scenario can have a negative impact to other people or other country. Others might think that our politicians were not that professional nor educated to have exchange of tweets regarding on a matter that should be discussed in person and not in the cyberworld.
advantages and disadvantages of social networking sites still depends on the user. That's why all of us should be a responsible user. think before you click ;)
