I would like to know is it safe to use Facebook instant messaging in Linux? i know Windows is not safe
I think common sense is the key to safety when you use anything like Facebook Messaging. 
when you say windows is not safe what do you mean Malware spying ? Facebook is collecting data too

its safe to use both on windows and Linux just remember Facebook have eye balls on everything LOL Big Grin
yeah i know Facebook does collecting data back too, i was talking about does it cause a viruses, malware, etc. when using Facebook instant messaging in Linux?
now when it comes to Facebook people say Facebook is not safe

I see this all the time people Facebook being hacked now to be fair security fall on both Facebook and user but most of time because of user error

  1. weak passwords on email and Facebook
  2. computer have a virus or malware infection
  3. using friends computer/phone/tablet to login to Facebook
  4. using schools/ work/college computer to login to Facebook
  5. clicking on links on Facebook

all users error what will happen when you tell them how to stay safe online some people never listen then get hacked
thank you for reply guys
