How to secure your privacy in Facebook

How to secure your privacy in Facebook -

Facebook is the second most popular site in the world. During the second quarter of 2015, they reported that 1.49 billion monthly active users, which means that nearly 1/5 of the population of the world is on Facebook. The majority of users do not change their security settings. This could be for various reasons they do not understand how or what settings to use, they are not aware of the risks, or they do not care. That said, the company has taken heat for automatic tagging feature that uses facial recognition software. The stated purpose of auto-tagging "to improve the member experience." Because of the other potential use or misuse of this technology, we will do a review Facebook security step by step in this guide.

1. Once connected to Facebook, to the right of the search bar, you will see a lock like that. Once you click on the padlock, you will see a selection of the top that says balance privacy.
2. From here you can select the audience you want to be able to see everything you post, if you post things. We chose friends in this case, because we think that the world does not need to know what is happening in our lives.
3. In the same section you can also choose your applications and you want to see. All apps you've used are located there. If you no longer wish to use the applications either on your phone or on Facebook, you have the option to delete them. If you play facebook games and you do not wish to post your activities, you need only select me.
4. Then comes the section entitled "Your Profile". Here, we advise you to change the settings of the phone and e-mail to "just me" or "friends". With the anniversary, friends of friends is ok, but for the year? choose the selection "not me". Hometown wise, you can choose to make this public if you want to, and because of other details guarantee, this should be ok too. Press the Finish button and you're set for this section. You are then redirected to the main screen.
5. Press the same lock button again, and in the background there is a link that says "view other parameters." By default, this will bring you to the settings and privacy tools. At the top, under which can see my business, a key states who can see my future posts. We suggest the option to change friends. This is because sometimes the things you post may have personal data in them.
6. Moving to the next section, selecting who can send you friend requests, you have two options. Friends of friends, or everyone. In this case, everyone option is a good choice, because if an old friend or acquaintance tries to connect with you, they may not even be connected to friends of friends.
7. For your inbox, Facebook recommends basic filtering, and we agree. Unless it becomes a problem, the filter base option is fine.
8. The next section is called can look at me, and has three settings. For the first option, which can look myself by email, we recommend the option of friends, and the same phone number. The next part is enabled by default. "You want the search engines to link to your timeline?" Unless you use Facebook for non-personal account (such as a business or cause), this should be very clearly NO. People outside of FB does not need to see what you post if you're on a personal account.
9. On the left side, the following section should be the calendar and marking. For the "things that can add to your calendar" we recommend selecting the option of friends. The following line is a big one. "Exercises friends you tag before they appear on your timeline?" This is disabled by default, but you must activate it. at least that way, you can accept or refuse to be labeled.
10. for "who can see things on my calendar," you want to change options there with friends. Again, we emphasize that no one outside of your circle to be able to see what you post.
11. The last part of this category is important because it manages people you tagging. The party said the review tags people post on your calendar must be on. Question 2: "When you're tagged in a post that you want to add to the public if they are not already in it," We offer friends here, and the last question there "who sees tag suggestions when photos that look like you are uploaded? "We recommend using the option Person.

There are more specific tools in the locking section and the safety section, but that is a matter of preference. So there you have it. the settings we have mentioned here will still allow you to do things you normally do on Facebook, but they will limit your exposure and help to ensure that your privacy remains private. We recommend changing these settings because there is no reason why all Facebook information allows it to be public, to be truly public.
