With all the talk lately about Facebook Privacy I decided to revisit my Facebook Privacy settings again. I wrote about this back in December (frightening – only about 6 months ago) but needed to check again as they changed things again, and then again. Unfortunately I think it’s going to become a way of life in Facebook
k to have to keep checking this stuff – as I fear they are on a path from private to public – as they can make more money that way. Of course this is quite annoying to some of us – as it feels like a breach of trust. To see your settings hover over “Account” (on the upper-right part of the screen) then “Privacy Settings”.
One thing Facebook just recently did was publish a summary of your privacy settings – which is good. On the right I’m showing my settings – which are pretty conservative. I basically set most of my stuff to be private – i.e. only my friends can see it – as I use Facebook in a private manner (For public items I have a website, Facebook FAN Pages, Twitter, etc.) – for me it’s me – only for my friends. I would highly recommend that everyone review these settings very carefully to know what you are sharing – your posts, photos, bio, who can comment on posts, contact information, etc.
