Maintaining privacy on Facebook is important because recruiters, teachers, bosses and college admission committees are highly likely to look at your profile and make judgments about your professionalism based on what they can see.
Facebook has more than a billion users who share photos, stream videos, and post status updates regarding their daily lives.Since its launch, Facebook has been a target for criticism regarding its open approach to user privacy, especially its decision to share rather than hide your personal information by default.
There are many ways to customize your privacy and security on Facebook, but here are 10 tips to get you started, all these changes can be done in the Facebook privacy settings.
1.) Set up who can see your future posts.
Go to your “Privacy” settings under “Account Settings” and select “Who can see my future posts?”
2.) Review posts that friends tag you in before they appear on your timeline?
Go to the “Timeline and Tagging” within “Account Settings.” You will notice a section there called “Who can add things to my timeline?”
3.) Create a default list of friends that you want to prevent from seeing your whole profile.
Combine Tips 1 & 2 and create a restricted group to prevent them from seeing your profile.
