It's reasonable to think that you wouldn't want your ex, his or her extended family, or your boss to read your Facebook page or access your photos. Fortunately, controlling your Facebook privacy settings is easy to do.
Why You Should Control Your Facebook Privacy Settings:
- Your Facebook page may currently be configured to allow everyone to see your status updates, photos, contact information, and more.
- This information can be used against you in a child custody hearing or to substantiate claims that are being made against you.
How to Control Your Facebook Privacy Settings:
- Click on "Account" at the top right corner of your Facebook page.
- Click "Privacy Settings."
Recommended Facebook Privacy Settings:
I recommend that you set the following items on "friends only":
- My status, photos, and posts
- Bio and favorite quotations
- Family and relationships
- Photos and videos I'm tagged in
- Can comment on posts
- Places I check in to
- Contact information
