Facebook privacy and their settings give me a headache. I really thought I had all my privacy settings figured out, but I was wrong. I think its very hard for people to keep up with Facebook's privacy settings with all the constant changes. It's overwhelming and irritating. I feel their should be a class on how to use the settings, otherwise so many people leave their profiles open to the world. They are there to protect our information, yet it is so complicated to use.
Full privacy protection is important to me for my account. I feel this way because I have had Facebook for a while and may not be so proud of posts from my past. I suppose I could possibly go back and delete, but then again I feel it was a part of my journey. I do enjoy the fact I have a diary of sorts to look back on. I feel it is important for Facebook to keep strict privacy settings and I cant think of anything they could add really. You have the ability to block just about anything accept your cover photo and I don't care if anyone can see my 5am Miami photo. They should make it easier for you to block your photo's, it is such a pain going through them all to add the restriction!
I love some points that Ben brought up in his blog! You should take a look at http://lifestylespoorunknown.blogspot.com/2013/02/thoughts-on-facebook-privacy.html
I do think that people can post things on your wall or tag you in photos that could be incriminating. Sometimes your friends are not aware of your audience and unaware of the damage they are doing. I do think that some sort of approval system or permission should be required before your friends embarrass you and get you in trouble with certain people! However, for now the inappropriate tags and posts live on...
