People are sharing their most valued moments on Facebook and it wants to make tips and tools clear and accessible, whenever they need them. Privacy Basics gives tips on such things as securing accounts, understanding who can see posts and knowing what one's page looks like to others. This is part of its effort to make sure users have all the information they need.
It is making these improvements as part of Data Privacy Day, held each year on 28 January. It is joining privacy experts who are sharing their own privacy information on Facebook, along with organisations around the world such as National Cyber Security Alliance, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Center for Democracy and Technology, who are working to raise awareness of how to take charge of ones information online.
In addition to visiting Privacy Basics, Facebook encourages users to take the time to:
• Choose who sees what one posts. On Facebook, one can use the audience selector to choose who will see each post - just one's friends, everyone or a customised group that one selects.
• Increase one's account security by turning on login approvals. One will get a unique security code each time one accesses Facebook account from a new device.
