Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> has a shaky reputation when it comes to privacy, but it\u2019s a useful tool for keeping in touch with friends and family. If you\u2019re going to use the social network, there are a few things you can do to lock things down as much as possible.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_What_and_How_You_Share\"><\/span>Consider What (and How) You Share<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook can operate both as a public social network where everything is viewable to everyone, and a private friends-only space where you restrict your posts and information to only those people you choose to connect with. You can even mix and match these <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaches, depending on what you\u2019re posting.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to do this is with Facebook\u2019s inline audience selector. Whenever you decide to make a new post, you can click or tap on the drop-down box beneath your name and choose between Friends or Public, or restrict certain users. You can even limit it to \u201cOnly me\u201d which is perfect for hiding old posts without having to delete them entirely.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-805126\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/facebook_share.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Change audience in Facebook composer\" width=\"650\" height=\"327\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Doing this allows you to hide certain posts from specified contacts, or even share posts only with a select few. Head to your Facebook Privacy settings\u00a0under <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/settings?tab=privacy\">Settings &gt; Privacy<\/a>\u00a0to choose a default setting for this box, which will save you from accidentally posting something public in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The best way of not compromising your privacy, though, is by not posting something you may later regret, regardless of the audience. You can also retroactively limit the audience of your old Facebook posts that you\u2019ve already made.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Review_Your_Friends_List\"><\/span>Review Your Friends List<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You know how to restrict posts to only your friends, but how well do you know your friends? Facebook contacts can come from anywhere, whether that\u2019s close friends that you know in real life, distant relatives you\u2019ve met a few times, or online contacts who you\u2019ve never seen in the flesh.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to comb through your Facebook friends list from time to time to ensure you\u2019re comfortable with your audience. You can put people on your Restricted list using the \u201cFriends\u201d icon on a profile and selecting \u201cEdit friend list\u201d and choosing \u201cRestricted\u201d (or any other list you like).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-805127\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edit_friends_list_facebook.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Edit Facebook friends list\" width=\"650\" height=\"377\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A friend on your Restricted list can only see your public profile information plus any posts you tag them in. This can be a good way to keep people at arm\u2019s length without having to remove them from your friend list, avoiding potentially awkward real-world interactions.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Dont_Have_to_Use_Your_%E2%80%9CReal%E2%80%9D_Name\"><\/span>You Don\u2019t Have to Use Your \u201cReal\u201d Name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using your real name on Facebook might seem like a good idea, assuming you want to be found and recognized. Facebook\u2019s infamous real name policy has stirred up controversy and caused issues in the past, leading to the social network softening its approach somewhat (at least on paper).<\/p>\n<p>Facebook\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/help\/112146705538576\">name policy<\/a> states that \u201cthe\u00a0name on your profile should be the name that your friends call you in everyday life\u201d and that it should \u201calso appear on a form of ID or document from our ID list.\u201d In addition to the usual forms of ID like a passport or driver\u2019s license, Facebook also accepts library cards, store loyalty cards, and employment verification on its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/help\/159096464162185?helpref=faq_content\">list of approved IDs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Facebook, \u201cnicknames can be used as a first or middle name if they\u2019re a variation of your authentic name.\u201d This should provide some wiggle room to get creative with naming your account. Provided your pseudonym can pass as a nickname for your real name, you should be in the clear if you get pulled up on it.<\/p>\n<p>Think for a second about how many Facebook friends you have who don\u2019t use their real names. How many are using completely fictionalized personas? How many have stretched the nickname rule almost to breaking point? From the outside looking in, it doesn\u2019t look like this rule is one that Facebook is hugely concerned about policing.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perform_a_Privacy_Checkup\"><\/span>Perform a Privacy Checkup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook has a useful <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/privacy\/checkup\/?source=settings_and_privacy\">Privacy Checkup tool<\/a>\u00a0that walks you through some of the most common privacy settings you might want to change. This includes your password, how people can find you, and how your data is managed. From time to time, new settings may be added or you might change your mind on some policies so checking back semi-regularly to update these settings is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>We have also outlined some\u00a0Facebook privacy settings you\u2019ll probably want to change\u00a0which can have an immediate effect on locking your profile down. You can also trawl through your <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/settings?tab=account\">Facebook Settings<\/a>\u00a0to update individual preferences, including more obscure preferences like who can comment on your public posts, and whether tags need to be reviewed by you before they appear on your profile.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-805125\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/facebook_audience.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Change Facebook profile information visibility\" width=\"650\" height=\"422\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Take a moment to comb through your profile to see what information you may want to hide. You can click on the audience icon next to a piece of information (it will look like a globe if it\u2019s public, for example) and choose an audience you\u2019re more comfortable with. Check each section, then use the \u201cView as\u201d button near your name to see your profile from another point of view.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Forget_About_Ads\"><\/span>Don\u2019t Forget About Ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook advertising is famously intrusive. The social network learns all it can about you and then attempts to show you adverts that you\u2019re more likely to click on. This advertising is part and parcel of using the Facebook service, though you can choose to see fewer ads about certain topics, including alcohol, parenting, pets, and social or political topics under <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/adpreferences\/ad_topics\">Ad Topics<\/a> in Settings &gt; Ad Preferences.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-805128\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/facebook_manage_ad_topics.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Manage ad topics on Facebook\" width=\"650\" height=\"343\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Another thing you can control is how Facebook uses tracking cookies to target you with even more relevant advertising. Under \u201cData about your activity from partners\u201d you can turn off Facebook and Instagram. This prevents the social network from using data gleaned from websites, adverts, and offline interactions to serve you adverts. It\u2019s not going to result in fewer adverts, but from a privacy standpoint, it\u2019s less invasive.<\/p>\n<p>You can make ads even less intrusive by disabling certain \u201ccategories used to reach you\u201d including your employer, job title, education, and relationship status. There\u2019s also a humorous \u201cinterest categories\u201d listing\u00a0things that Facebook thinks you are interested in. You can delete anything you want from this section, but keep in mind that you\u2019re \u201ctraining\u201d the advertising algorithm by doing this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to See What Data Facebook Has on You<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lock_or_Deactivate_Your_Profile\"><\/span>Lock or Deactivate Your Profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/help\/196419427651178\">announced<\/a> a profile lock feature\u00a0that effectively limits everything to friends until you deactivate the setting.
