A billion people worldwide use Facebook to share details of their
lives with their friends. Trouble is, they also might be unintentionally
divulging matters they consider private—to friends…coworkers, clients
and employers…marketing companies…and even to competitors, scammers and
identity thieves.The first way Facebook could be compromising your private information is the new Timeline and this is how to protect yourself…
1. The new Timeline format exposes your old mistakes. Timeline, introduced in late 2011, makes it easy for people to search back through your old Facebook posts, something that was very difficult to do in the past. That could expose private matters and embarrassing photos that you’ve long since forgotten posting.
What to do: To hide Timeline posts that you do not wish to be public, hold the cursor over the post, click the pencil icon that appears in the upper-right corner, then click “Hide from Timeline” or “Delete.”
