It appears that Facebook may have gone a little over the edge where your private information is concerned. When you and I joined Facebook we were assured that our private information would only be shared with people that we elected to be our friends. Now we find out that Facebook shares some of our information with companies that advertise their websites in the right side column of pages that you are on. There was in incident last week where Facebook was sharing your private chats with anyone that wanted to look. It was corrected in a short time but still that kind of mistake should never happen.
When Facebook changes the privacy setting they often leave you in a opt out status instead of an opt out. This also is unsatisfactory condition.
Bottom line? You need to again be made aware that any information you put on Facebook could at any time be shared with others that are NOT your friend. Check you privacy settings often to make sure you are sharing you private information with only those that should know that information.
Also, again, I would like to remind you to back up your vital information and picture. You can use the #1 app from 2009 to back up in the cloud your vital information including pictures. Dropbox gives you 2 gigs for free space. I highly recommend this outstanding app. CLICK HERE to get your free Dropbox.
