Five Ways to Boost Your Facebook Privacy
Facebook's privacy settings aren't always simple. From The Wall Street Journal, here are five step-by-step guides to adjusting some of the most important ones.
Limit Who Can Post to Your Timeline
Follow these steps to prevent friends from posting to your timeline, and fine-tune who can view those posts.
- 1. Open Facebook's main privacy page.
- 2. Next to the text that says "Timeline and Tagging," click "edit settings."
- 3. In the box that pops up, the top two options correspond to who (a) can post to your timeline, and (b) who can see those posts.
- 4. In the dropdown for "Who can post on your timeline?" you can choose between "Friends" (the default) and "No One" (e.g., only you).
- 5. The dropdown for "Who can see what others post on your timeline?" provides much more granular options.
