There has been a host of criticism about Facebook. A recent news story acts as a counter-balance. Facebook was used to track down an alleged burglar:
“New Zealand police have arrested a safe burglar by using the popular social networking website Facebook to identify and track him down.
Queenstown police in southern New Zealand posted security-camera footage and pictures showing the man’s face as he tried to break into the safe of a local tavern on Monday.”

Perhaps potential burglars are not well versed in taking precautions for privacy and security on venues such as Facebook.
