A question arose in one of my seminars yesterday, asking whether universities spy on students through Facebook.
Yes, they do in many cases. But then the discussion evolved into another topic and this got me thinking. I get emails all the time asking about Facebook privacy settings and those who are worried about certain things being discovered, and the employment problems for future reference.
With the multitude of settings, and more often than not rather confusing and somewhat contradictory, how do you effectively lock down your photos, notes, profile and information, to not only certain people but everyone else outside your close-knit networks?
There are articles already on how to lock down your Facebook through the in-built settings, and this one is particularly good. However there are tricks and subtleties I'll mention here which you may not have considered before.
Feel free to leave verbal heckles, but in the meantime - are you sitting comfortably? Shall we move on?
