hi this is Dave Taylor and I'm going to
0:04
give you just a quick 30 seconds on
0:06
Facebook privacy let's jump onto my
0:08
computer so first thing to notice is
0:10
that on the top right things have
0:12
changed a little bit click on the little
0:14
padlock and you got three privacy
0:16
shortcuts and those are really helpful
0:18
so first one who can see my stuff click
0:21
on it and you can see who can see my
0:23
future posts where can I review all my
0:26
posts what do other people see on my
0:28
timeline all of those are really great
0:30
and in fact one of the ones I recommend
0:32
you look at is this who can see my
0:34
future posts so you can say you know
0:37
what every time I post by default I only
0:40
want it to be my friends boom changed
0:42
that was easy um you can also then
0:44
change it later when you're doing other
0:46
posts specifically next one is who can
0:49
contact me um I actually let it to be
0:53
pretty open but you might want to
0:54
tighten it down and say really just my
0:56
friends it's okay you know who can send
0:58
me friend requests well it doesn't make
1:00
sense for only your friends to send you
1:02
friend requests for what I hope are
1:04
obvious reasons and then finally the
1:06
third one that's really great is if you
1:08
have someone who just bugs you maybe you
1:11
their political views bug you or maybe
1:13
it's just something as simple as they're
1:15
an ex and they just keep posting stupid
1:17
things you can add their name right here
1:20
type it in and boom you'll never see
1:22
them anymore they can't comment on your
1:24
postings they can't like your photos
1:27
anything they have now vanished from the
1:29
world so between those three really
1:32
great privacy shortcuts you can do more
1:34
with C more settings but here's the
1:36
thing is that you've got to go and check
1:38
it and you've got to make sure that you
1:40
understand what your privacy settings
1:42
are because if there's one thing that's
1:43
true about Facebook is that things keep
1:45
changing and if you want to hold on to
1:47
your privacy you're going to have to do
1:49
something proactive for it so thanks
1:51
hope this was useful and I'll catch you
1:53
in the next
