Facebook timeline privacy question? - way2play - 03-11-2014 04:58 AM

hey all so i got timeline and i want to make sure 100% only friends get to see my posts, etc. and try to make everything as private as i can.

my question is about this one privacy custom setting im confused about, it says this:

Limit the audience for posts you shared with friends of friends or Public.

Should I limit the audience to just friends? When I triedt o change it it warned me saying that if I confirm there will be a global change and that i would have to change every post manually for my audiences. Why is it warning me? Should I still go along with it? It seems like fb is trying to intentionally change my mind so that MY PROFILE IS MORE VISIBLE TO ANYONE.

no, read it again...

it sets anything that is currently "public" or "friends of friends" to "friends" and leaves any other custom privacy settings alone...

there's also a "learn more" link you can click

There's a really good guide I made to Facebook's privacy settings and making a secure profile with the new Timeline feature at: http://blog.gingechilla.com/2011/12/facebook-timeline-and-privacy.html#more 12
