In this blog, you will find out more about how facebook privacy settings.
However before I start with my blog, I urge you that if you have facebook, to look at this website on privacy settings. It tells you about how you can be removed from Google searches, who can see your embarrassing photos, how to keep your friendship private, or how to keep your contact information private. This website was really good and it was a lot of help to me when I was changing my facebook account.
Now let me start with a quote of what Facebook says about its safety. ‘Despite Facebook's safety and privacy controls, Facebook cannot guarantee that its site is entirely free of illegal, offensive, pornographic or otherwise inappropriate material, or that its members will not encounter inappropriate or illegal conduct from other members. Consequently, you may encounter such content and conduct.’ Frankly this is absolutely ridiculous. If Facebook can care enough to note what you are doing with your every move, then surely they can check every single post to scan for this.
Later Facebook redeems itself by putting these safety tips up:
• Never share your password with anyone
• Adjust your privacy settings to match your level of comfort, and review them often
• Be cautious about posting and sharing personal information, especially information that could be used to identify you or locate you offline, such as your address or telephone number
• Report users and content that violate our Terms of Use
• Block and report anyone who sends you unwanted or inappropriate communications
However it is no use of putting it where people rarely see it. I didn’t know about these privacy settings until a couple of weeks ago. They should be on display in an obvious place.
I hope that now you are starting to feel like you ought to adjust your privacy settings. If you would like a little help on doing so, this website is a lot of use, telling you what level of security is recommended and why you should do so.
I will finish by saying that you should be extremely cautious of Facebook. It has a surprising amount of tricks up its sleeves. Next time you use Facebook, think about your privacy settings. and if you are thinking of getting Facebook, think about what sort of privacy you want and if you are willing to give you online identity to Facebook.
