If you are on the Facebook, by now, you should know the latest big changes that Facebook did toward to its privacy settings rolled out few days ago. If you still don’t know or do not clear what and how the changes can affect your privacy, below this video explain you more.
What Facebook did is recommending FB users adopt a series of new privacy settings that would reveal their personal data to anyone on the internet. To get a clear picture of what Facebook means by everyone (and its implications) you should check out the revised Facebook privacy policy:
“Information set to ‘everyone’ is publicly available information, may be accessed by everyone on the Internet (including people not logged into Facebook), is subject to indexing by third party search engines, may be associated with you outside of Facebook (such as when you visit other sites on the internet), and may be imported and exported by us and others without privacy limitations.”
“The default privacy setting for certain types of information you post on Facebook is set to ‘everyone.’ You can review and change the default settings in your privacy settings. If you delete ‘everyone’ content that you posted on Facebook, we will remove it from your Facebook profile, but have no control over its use outside of Facebook.”
Let’s make it clear. If you make your information available to “everyone”, it actually means “everyone, forever”. Even if you change your mind later, it may just too late. If people go alone with Facebook’s recommendation without considering carefully the possible consequences, it is a really danger thing.
For a number of people, they may not bother with the changes, they might asked “Does it really matter?”,
“Are identity thieves really interested in me?”, well, if you want to try out to see how fast hackers can get their hand on you, just open your privacy to the world then.
Whether one is just browsing or working on the Internet, every Internet connection is a two-way street, and identity theft is a constant and imminent threat.
