Fix your Facebook privacy settings
Settings–>Account–>Disable
This is odd for me to do so, but I feel like I have to say Facebook has actually been really good about keeping my settings the way they are.
But I do like where @omems is going there…
I feel like I’ve got to check them at least once a month because either Facebook changes them, or my mother finds a new way to get around being blocked.
Facebook is bad enough, but the really horrible one is Google Photos…
Does anyone actually understand when something is publicly visible in that mess?
Sorry. Not good enough. It needs to be permanently deleted, not merely disabled.
Here’s my setting: Facebook–>never sign up. I don’t like that shade of blue. I don’t want to belong to any club…you know the rest.
Or when an “update” to my phone will suddenly enable all the photos on my phone to “auto back up” to Google Photos…
That was a fun week. Everyone I know went through a months worth of data overnight with that “update”.

[/quote]I set it up a few months back and it hasn’t changed. I was impressed, as they typically “fix” things for the users.

[/quote]I do, but only because I made nothing publicaly visible. Talk about a trainwreck of occasional permissions. Sometimes. Instead, nobody never sees nothing.

FTFY
Forcing The Cloud down unwilling people’s throats should be a jailable offense.
If you don’t want it visible to the whole world… don’t put it on the internet. Keep in mind anything you say/do can be shared to anyone.
And if you don’t want your neighbour to know your business say nothing to anyone ever!
Sound advice!
Abstinence-only social interaction.
