I need help with Facebook privacy? - Sammi - 03-24-2014 10:15 AM
Facebook has changed again, and I don't even know when it did, to be honest.
Basically, I have my privacy settings set to "only friends can see future posts/photos etc" yet when you type in somebody's name into the Facebook search bar, you can pretty much see all of their photos, friends, and interests which defeats the purpose of their privacy. Anybody could find out where you live and things like that. (Also, for example, what if the person had a past stalker, like I did when I was 16 years old)
I mean, I have my photos set to "only friends can see them" but if somebody were to type my name into the search bar, they'd be able to see ALL of my photos, interests, AND friends. So, how do you change this? I just notice Facebook getting worse and developing crappy features. Thanks.

This link may help you. It's an FAQ basically. I'd try explaining it, but I may not be all that clear.

Its Possible you may Not Have Changed All of your Settings Like For Instance Profile Pictures You Can Only Set Individual Photos to Private There is no Way to Make the Whole Album Private And Cover Photos By Default Is Public
For Friends you Can Hide it By Going to your Friends List Click on The Pencil Than Click Edit Privacy and you Can Make it Private Friends Only or Me Only If you Dont Want Anyone to See your Friends List
For Interests Go to your Interests Page Click Edit than To the Right Click on the People Box Than Set it to Friends Only

Check all your privacy settings and change them to "only me" or "friends only"
