  3. Astrologers and Horoscopes can not never change your luck. God can override! But, these apps are usually unsafe and sniffs the whole profile.
  4. While clicking Facebook App prompt, read what is written in the window. Some Apps can read your PMs. The App prompt looks same for all but they are manually clicked to set while launching the App.
  5. If you die just because of a Facebook App, Facebook is not responsible
  6. Facebook is not your private album
  7. Facebook has a huge big privacy, data usage policy, read it if you have never read it
  8. Facebook has official support forum
  9. Facebook has official personal support over email for serious issues like bullying
  10. Facebook might give you deleted data where bullying thing happened
  11. Facebook has security options, but they are never made default, because Facebook have to run their business and give you free account
