Facebook Posts
You have probably seen a variation of the following in your Facebook News Feed recently:
| Do me a favor please: Hover over my name above; In a few seconds you'll see a box that says "subscribed." Hover over that and then go down to "comments and likes" and unclick it. That will stop my posts and yours to me from showing up on the side bar for everyone to see and limits hackers from invading our profiles. If you re-post this I will do the same for you. Thanks everyone. |
So, let’s take a look…it is so interesting to see what little windows come up in different places. Yes, the information you see from each person can be adjusted, but it is not going to make the information posted more or less visible. Only whether or not the person adjusting the settings sees the posts.
Side note here…if you shared this post with me, I am not singling you out. I have seen this multiple times. It’s all over Facebook. In fact, I have received many questions from people looking for information on this.
Let’s take a look at what is happening and why. People are concerned for their friends, it seems that their every activity showing up in the new Ticker. Which also means, that their activity is showing up for other people to see.
So a quick fact check here…
I would rather my comments on friends’ posts not be made public.
Think of it this way, when you comment on someone else’s post – the comment does not belong to you anymore. Are your comments public? That depends on the posting settings of where you are commenting. If it is a public post, yes. If it is viewable to only their friends, then their friends can see the comment. They can change their settings at any time. The end result is you are not in control anymore.
In other words, just be smart about your comments on other people’s posts. It does not mean you should not comment. Just do not say anything you will regret. While you control who sees your own posts, you cannot do anything about who your friends choose should see their own posts (which includes the comments on those posts).
