As of today, social networking giant Facebook has unveiled an entirely new privacy policy. This time around, folks who leave their profiles “Public” are sharing information with the entire online world – not just with other users of Facebook.
“Facebook says these settings won’t be the default for anyone under age 18, and that kids will be prevented from sharing much of their information outside of Facebook. The company also says that users who have tweaked their privacy settings in the past will find those settings as the default when they first visit their privacy page. The majority of users, though, will end up with the “Everyone” default.”
There is an incredible number of reasons why folks need to protect their privacy online – not the least of which is the fact that it is your right to decide what information you’d like to share with others.
If you’re on facebook and have any sort of sensitive or private information on your profile – be sure to check your privacy settings today.
