be careful about what you share on the internet we had a lecture at uni today about cyber safety and they showed us this website http://www.takethislollipop.com
If you have facebook you should check out this website and then change your privacy settings to limit your cyber footprint!
I've wondered if someone with enough time to collate all the photos I post could figure out (like map) where I hang out the most, and possibly reside. One of the reasons I may or may not share photos near where I live, work, and play. (see what I just did there?) Yeah, wasn't quite thinking someone like him, but thanks for the visual now. ;-)
I just spent the last hour not just making sure my settings were okay but deleting anything that might give a clue as to where I am. Because the creator of some app you decide to download may be a creep too. I deleted every app. The part where it showed the map of right where I was freaked me out the most!
I stay away from any FB apps. The minute something wants me to "connect via Facebook", I'm gone. While there's really no way to prevent data mining on your PC - you'd be shocked at what's available to any website you visit - I really don't have to make it easy for them.
Holy crap that's awesome! My Facebook accounts are fully locked down already, but that still gave me the creeps! Now, to go back and deny access to that app! Thanks for sharing, I passed it on!
@jtrudell Thanks Janine! I don't (knowingly) allow FB apps access, so I was feeling left out. Having read this I feel a little more informed, though I missed the creepy effects :)
Couldnt help myself could I? Just had to watch it. Ah wow!!!!! @tammeray@grizzlysghost He wanted to mess with my Eclectus Parrot. Good luck with that he bites.
I was too freaked out to continue past the point where it said it would access all my photos, friends, blah blah blah. Now I want to know what I missed:(
I'm very careful to select "only friends" or a "custom" list of who I want to see what I post, especially if it is in reference to anything personal. And I NEVER post vacation photos until after the fact. This didn't hit too close to home, literally, but it's good to be aware of how public, even some of what you think are private, FB posts can be.
Facebook has violated its own privacy policies in the past. Would not trust the lock down settings. Do not place online what you do not wish others to access.
I teach computers to middle schoolers and part of what I have to teach is Internet Safety.... debating if this is too scary for them!! I think I'll show it!!!
Would anyone be able to help me? I googled my full name today and found that the world has access to all my photo's. I have changed my display name but I think I need to change my user name. How do I do this? I don't mind sharing within the 365 community but to have my photo's of my family exposed to everyone is unsettling. I just don't want people to be able to find me under my full name?

The only time I publish my photos on FB is through a link to google plus which under stands and does not take the copyright away from you.
