The Schleswig-Holstein Question...

Hello,
the thing is you post something in Facebook like "I'm out to meet my friends tomorrow" etc., and any burglar knows when to visit your empty house or appartement. The data to connect phone number, address, name and personal likes can be collected and (ab)used, they call it "scraping". It is not only used for criminal action of course, but also by governments, police or just for economical purposes.

If you posted that you just lost your job and need a new car, along with the face recognition you just walk into a bank to ask for that credit, and they politely tell you to go - sorry man, not worthy of credit.
As well when you looked for an Aston-Martin, or real estate, and have a nice bank account without bad history, you might get that credit.
As well add a personal opinion or anything your boss does not like, and you're out.

Basically everyone can read it, and even if you set your profile to private or "friends only", data are anything but secure on the net. And i'm not only speaking of the police here ..
So what Schleswig-Holstein has in mind is that those networks touch the right on individual privacy and can be dangerous, which is understandable - however everyone is responsible for himself and what he writes into hos blog or facebook site, and what he likes others to read and know about him.

Social networking is not a bad idea, but be aware and careful what you post -
