I’ve never had a Facebook account, but I’m currently (and with great reluctance and trepidation) considering signing up. There are other services I’d like to use that only allow you to sign up using Facebook, and apparently you can’t escape its privacy-invading clutches even if you’re not a member, but the stuff going on at the border in re: social media accounts is what’s really convinced me. I can easily forsee a day in the near future where not having a Facebook account to give up to an agent will be cause for suspicion at the border.
So while this “travel mode” idea is something I hope is instituted ASAP as a complement to my own pain-in-the-arse opsec, I’m wondering if anyone can point me to a Web site that has a constantly updated list of Facebook’s ever-changing privacy and security settings so I can limit access to the account as much as possible. Thanks in advance.
