Is it safe to be on Facebook?

Filed in: Blog Add comments

Today’s webinar covered some aspects related to privacy on using Facebook. This seems to be an evolving thing when Facebook has occasionally changed its privacy policy and/or its terms of use, and for many of us who aren’t technologically or legally conversant, these changes can take us by surprise. Here are the slides from the webinar:

And here’s a recap of the webinar. Next time you login to Facebook, go to facebook.com/privacy and check your settings. Take a look at each line and understand who will be able to view the info that you share, both about yourself and the things you like and/or are connected to. Make your settings fit your comfort level of how much personal information you share with others.

    Hey, great point on FB, you guys. I think this is something most of us users fail to look at. I’m sure that there are many people who are clueless about what their privacy settings are, and that”s definitely bad with today’s society of “if it’s on the Net, it’s out there forever!”
