Security Policy

In order to protect personal privacy on Facebook, users should be careful when they post or comment on someone’s status positing. Also, their personal information can be controlled by its account settings. Facebook has been updated its privacy policy because its privacy issues are growing concerns in social media. Currently, Facebook users can control their information by new privacy policy settings. If Facebook users do not want to expose their information to the public, they can set to “Friends Only” option which is available to keep their photos and posting hidden from certain people. In addition, users can define friends’ list categorized by co-workers, best friends, and employees. Then, they can set each of group settings to be visible or not by the account settings. Users also can set what people see when other people search their profile on Facebook. One of Facebook’s greatest security features are the ability to approve each computer or mobile device that logs into other’s account. People get notification through e-mail or text message when someone tries to log in from a computer that doesn’t approve.
