How to change facebook privacy settings when it comes to groups and pages?

[Vanessa]

Since there's a new (well not so new now) live feed that shows when a person joins groups, or becomes a fan of pages, a lot of people will join a ton of groups at one time. And it looks quite silly. So how can i change my privacy settings so people won't see if i join groups or become a fan of a page? Thanks in advance!

Hm. That's a good question. One thing you can do is when you join a group or become a fan is to "Hide" that aspect from showing up in the feed and on your wall by clicking "Hide" next to "___ became a fan of ____" But I'm not certain if that will actually hide this information from coming up on other people's feeds.

I've looked around on Facebook and through the privacy settings and there really doesn't seem to be anything that specifies hiding the fact that you joined groups from your friends.

However, of course, you can hide your profile from being public but I'm pretty sure you want to hide the groups you are joining from your friends so that it doesn't look silly.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I have, however, posted the contact page of the "Privacy team" at Facebook below. You can ask them directly and if they don't have it somewhere that we both can't find it, you can request this setting from the Facebook privacy team
