the same time giving
you more control . . . in

In the upper right
corner, look for the
drop down menu
next to the home
button.

8. Privacy Settings
This is where you post stuff. You can say who you
are with, where you are and then who you want to
see your post.

9. Default Privacy
Public is EVERYONE. Friends are your friends. Custom let
you use lists to create sub sets of your friends. By
default, Facebook starts you at Public.
The settings on the remaining slides are Facebook’s
DEFAULTS. You need to change them to what YOU are
comfortable with.

Facebook is very good
at figuring out who you

what you are interested
in.
Think of Facebook as

friend and protector.
This will make you more
careful.
