Throbbing In Left Arm

Computer Toolkit to manage and improve your privacy on Facebook


Facebook has privacy concerns. It is true that your profile settings to stop just as you would like them to see others is not very intuitive but it is also true that much of the guilt of feeling exposed is social networking is for our own actions.

Adjust Facebook privacy settings is not difficult, it takes no more than 20 minutes of your time and also to feel safe, you better categorized people you add on that network.

Then a practical, detailed, simple but how to manage and improve your privacy on Facebook.

Did you know that Facebook is ready? Facebook

lists are to categorize and group your contacts. No matter if you have ten, twenty, or five thousand contacts. Not only is ordered, also allows you to see updates from a particular group. What about your coworkers on Facebook? View that list. Any stories of your family? The same just look at that list.

But the most interesting of the lists of Facebook is that you can assign each one that much (or how little) you want to display in your profile. So the first thing to improve your privacy is creating them. I recommend creating four with the following names:
  1. Family and close friends
  2. Labour Friends and acquaintances
  3. limited profile
To create a list you must go to the Account menu Edit → Friends → Create a list and creates four of the names above. It is not necessary that the rosters goals now.

privacy Assign custom permissions for each list

The next step is to assign permissions to each list privacy. So that each group of people can see (or not) certain things in your profile. You may not be interested to see people at work your photos of partying or close acquaintances do not see pictures of your family. Besides using the limited profile group can accept people who do not know without fear that they may see your own private data.

To assign custom privacy levels on each list must go to Account Settings → Customize Configuration → privacy.
Once in a list of things you share how your publications, details of your family, relationships, interests, biography, etc.. One by one you should choose from the menu to the right of the Custom option.

will see a pop-up (popup window) where it says make this content visible to the following people select specific individuals. Now you will see a new text field. This is the most important text in that box will only need to write the name (or) list (s) to whom you give access particular content.

What

assigned to which groups?
This is the recommended setting for each list:
  • publications
    • My Family and close friends
    • Labour Friends and acquaintances
    • Family Family and close friends
    Foreign
    • Family and close friends
  • I am interested and looking

    • Family and close friends
  • can comment on publications
    • Family and close friends
    • Labour Friends and acquaintances
  • My friends can publish
    • my wall I chose not, the reason is that this spam that can get to my wall. I want to love my friends and family but often write things that have nothing to do with me and so I have avoided trouble.
  • can see the posts of friends in the wall
  • Off
    • the previous option.
  • My friends can tell where I'm
    • Off. Mobile phone
    • Family and close friends
    • job (unless you have a working telephone line, in this case, only your family and close friends)
    Other phone
    • Family and close friends
    • job (unless this cell is not the telephone line of work, then only your family and close friends)
    • Address Family and close friends
  • IM Name
    • Family and close friends E-mail
    • Family and close friends
    • Labour Friends and acquaintances
    • Limited Profile (always leave at least one way any person can contact you.)
Privacy Edition

particular photo album you already have

Another important step: It is the editing view permissions for each album we've created. Here you can also assign lists for each album. Suggest that the vast majority of the album only give permission to the Family and close friends list and let the profile photo album for all 4 lists can see it (that way they can identify.) Everything here depends on Have photos in each album and how embarrassing or are not the same.


You must go to Profile → Photos → privacy album and select Custom from the menu on the right of each album and see a pop-up, where it says make this content visible to the following people select specific individuals. Now you will see a new text field. This is the most important text in that box will only need to write the name (or) list (s) to whom you give access particular content

add contacts to every list

already created four groups and assigned permissions to each of these, it's time to sort your contacts. Back to Account → Edit Friends. A list all people have access to your profile. Assign them to one of the four lists created for this can be done in 2 ways
  1. Through the menu that appears to position the pointer to the left of the "X"

2. For those who have many contacts you can add several friends to the same list of easiest way, has always Entering → Edit Friends
For this alone should select a particular list of menu located on the left side of
window

and press the Add button number.

And Finally select the friends you want to include in the list of the pop-up (popup window) and give you click the Save List button.

appears difficult but really is not

is a long and detailed guide, but do not take more than twenty minutes more and it becomes very easy to keep updated and saves many privacy issues. After application may be much more relaxed compared to what people can see or not. Not in vain have to worry about if someone sees the photos that you do not want to see or if a stranger can see private data. You can accept People who do not necessarily know without worrying about revealing details of your life in the real world would.
