  1. 1.Social norms are the behavioral expectations and cues within a society or group.
    2.Not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people.
    3. With more and more Facebook information is being made available off the actual Facebook.com site - from Facebook Connect sites, the ability to include your profile in search engine results, as well as recent deals to include Facebook status updates in Bing search returns - it's harder to know if that photo or status update about your antics last night will be seen by 100 of your "friends" or the entire World Wide Web.
    4. Nothing, as I keep my nose clean.
    5.No. I just don't do many bad things.
