Is privacy on Facebook important to you? The Facebook privacy policy change means there are certain things about your Facebook and personal information that everybody can now view. Let's take a look at some of the privacy changes on Facebook and how they may impact you.
Here are a few things that everybody will be able to see on your Facebook profile due to the changing Facebook privacy policies.
Your name, gender, place of work, and school – If you don't want everybody to know where you work, or the school you go to, then you must leave these fields blank. These aren't things that you can only make visible to your friends.
Groups you become a fan of - This is something so simple that you would never think it can have a negative effect, but be certain it can. There are certain things that you might not want your work or maybe even your family to know that you are a fan of, so keep that in mind the next time you become a fan of a group.
Status Updates – The privacy changes on Facebook have also affected status updates. These are automatically set to be visible to everybody on Facebook, but you are able to change the settings on these so that only your friends can view them.If you don't adjust your settings on your status updates, then they too are available for anybody to read. There have been people that have got fired from their jobs for stuff that they said on their status updates. If you type it, the boss can read it. Don't forget if your manager is a Facebook friend of yours, they will still be able to read this. You might want to also keep that in mind if you post pictures of a Super Bowl Party you were at when you called off sick from work.
What can you do if you want certain things to be seen by some friends, but not others?
Organize your friends – You can make custom friend groups, separating work buddies from close friends or family. By doing this, you can control what posts and photos are visible to each group of friends.
Make sure you take the time to review the new privacy policies on Facebook and read the frequently asked questions about them. You can still keep most things private on Facebook, but you have to take the time to change your settings. For things you can't change, I can only suggest that you consider if there is anybody that you wouldn't want to see that information before making it public.
