Privacy is a very important attribute in social networking sites. Showing content to the right people is a basic requirement. We may want different friends or different types of friends to see different content, and privacy settings can play a role at this time. Reasonable privacy settings can not only improve the privacy of Facebook accounts, but also not lose the openness of content and accounts.
There is a downward arrow on the far right of the menu navigation bar at the top of the Facebook page. Click it and a drop-down menu will pop up. There is a “Settings” option. Click it to enter the settings page.
There is a “Privacy” option in the list on the left side of the settings page.
Click the “Privacy” option to enter the privacy settings and tools page.
There are three major settings.
Who can see my information? Here we mainly set who can see the account information we filled in before and the information we posted and shared. Click the “Edit” button on the right of “Who can see your future posts?”. Click the “Only me” drop-down button, and a drop-down list will appear, with three types of only: public, friends, and only me. “Public” means that everyone can see it, even if they are not friends; “Friends” means that only friends in the Facebook account can see it; “Only me” means that only I can see it, and no one else can see it.
The above are general settings. Some situations may require more detailed and specific settings, such as deciding which users can or cannot see our content. At this time, the customization function comes in handy. Click the “Customize” page.
In this page, you can specify which users can or cannot see our content. In addition, there is a faster way to select specific friends, that is, to use the friend grouping under Customize.
Who can contact me? This function is mainly used to set who can add us as friends. Currently there are only two options, setting to allow everyone or friends of friends to add us as friends.
Who can find me? This function is mainly used to set who can search for us on Facebook by email or mobile phone number. There are three options to choose from, namely everyone, friends of friends, and friends.
We can also set whether to allow search engines other than Facebook to link to personal homepages, that is, whether Google If this feature is turned on, when searching for account information in Google, our Facebook account may be directly displayed in the search results. It should be noted that if this feature was previously turned on and we choose to turn it off, the search results will no longer link to the personal homepage, but this may take some time to take effect. When users search for your name, your personal homepage will still be displayed in the search results.
