Several Links Re: Online Safety

 

Facebook is always pushing the boundaries. Regularly you have to check your FB settings. When FB releases new features they usually default them to on or the loosest setting.

Here are a couple of recent articles that tell you about Face Recognition tagging and how to turn them off.

If you don’t want Facebook to suggest you when your friends go to tag everyone in that picture from last week’s naked mud-wrestling pool party, here’s how you disable the feature:
  1. Go to your privacy settings.
  2. Click “Customize settings.”
  3. Scroll down to “Things others share.”
  4. Find “Suggest photos of me to friends.”
  5. Edit accordingly.

    Thanks Ellen! I had heard about this but had been to busy to research exactly what it was and how to undo it. I should have known you would be on top of it! Thanks!
