On Sept. 1, Concordia University prohibited access to Facebook and other social networking websites on school computers due to security concerns. The university said spam and viruses related to Facebook could damage its internal network, which services approximately 50,000 students, faculty, and staff members. In addition, admin said the openness of personal information on these sites could lead to numerous phishing scams.
The ban only applies to desktops, so Facebook addicts can still get a fix through a wireless connection and in residence.
