Many moons ago (2009), the Program I worked prohibited the use of Facebook if you had an active security clearance.

3/
Members of the program were upset because they couldn't use Facebook like normal folks, which was the #1 INFO Xchange platform.

4/
The Program got enough complaints that a process was approved that would allow a member to use Facebook in a locked-down mode.

The stated reason by Counter Intelligence was the ability to determine "geo-awareness" using the INFO users provided on FB.

6/ The charts show the process for users wanting to use FB. The process was presented at the 2011 OPSEC/Counter Intelligence Sem.

7/ The things the process was designed to protect 10 years ago, are the things taken advantage of/abused in current FB contro.

8/ All Social Media like LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, etc were included in the prohibition & had separate lock-down procedures!

Process chart is from around 10 years ago. I'm not sure how much FB has changed over that time. I'm not a FB user.
