Users can create profiles with photos, lists of personal
interests, contact information and other personal
information. Communicating with friends and other users
can be done through private or public messages or a
chat feature. Users can also create and join interest and
fan groups, some of which are maintained by
organizations as a means of advertising. To allay
concerns about privacy, Facebook enables users to
choose their own privacy settings and choose who can
see what parts of their profile.
The website is free to users and generates revenue from
advertising.By default, the viewing of detailed profile data
is restricted to users from the same network and
"reasonable community limitations".
