如何管理您的 Facebook 隐私设置：(How to Manage Your Facebook Privacy Settings: )Facebook是与朋友和同事联系并以图片和视频的形式与他们分享您的快乐生活时刻的绝佳平台。您可以与不同的人联系，分享您的意见，并随时了解周围发生的事情。Facebook因其所做的事情而受到人们的喜爱，但由于它拥有的所有这些数据，它引发了很多隐私问题。您不能相信任何人拥有您的个人数据，对吗？在不断增长的网络犯罪案件中也是如此！毫无疑问，关注您在Facebook 上(Facebook)发布的所有内容会发生什么是非常重要的，例如，谁可以看到它或谁可以喜欢它，以及您个人资料中的所有详细信息对人们可见。幸运的是，Facebook确实提供了许多隐私设置，以便您根据需要保护数据。处理这些隐私设置可能会令人困惑，但这是可能的。以下是有关如何管理Facebook隐私设置和控制数据处理方式的指南。
现在，在继续处理隐私设置之前，您可以通过 Facebook 非常简单的“隐私检查(Privacy Check-up)(Privacy Check-up)”。通过此检查，您可以查看当前共享信息的处理方式，您可以在此处设置最基本的隐私选项。
警告：是时候(Time)管理您的Facebook 隐私设置(Facebook Privacy Settings)了(2019)
隐私检查(Privacy Check-up)
要检查您当前的隐私设置，
1.在桌面上登录您的 Facebook(Login to your Facebook)帐户。
2.单击窗口右上角的问号图标。(question-mark)
3.选择“隐私检查(Privacy check-up)”。
隐私检查(Privacy Check-up)具有三个主要设置：帖子、个人资料和应用程序和网站( Posts, Profile, and Apps & Websites)。让我们一一回顾它们。
1.帖子(1.Posts)
通过此设置，您可以为您在Facebook 上(Facebook)发布的任何内容选择受众。您的帖子会出现在您的个人资料时间线和其他人（朋友(Friends)）的新闻提要中，因此您可以决定谁可以看到您的帖子。
单击下拉菜单(drop-down menu)以选择可用选项之一，例如公开、朋友、朋友除外、特定朋友或只有我。(Public, Friends, Friends except, Specific Friends or Only me.)
对于大多数人来说，不建议使用“公开”设置，因为您不希望任何人接触到您的个人帖子和照片。因此，您可以选择将“朋友(Friends)”设置为您的受众，其中，只有您朋友列表中的人才能看到您的帖子。或者，如果您想与大多数朋友分享您的帖子，而忽略少数朋友，您可以选择“朋友除外(Friends except)”，或者如果您想与有限数量的朋友分享您的帖子，您可以选择“特定朋友”。(Specific friends)
请注意，一旦您设置了您的受众，该设置将适用于您以后的所有帖子，除非您再次更改它。此外，您的每个帖子可能有不同的受众。
2.简介(2.Profile)
完成“帖子”设置后，单击“下一步”(Next)进入个人资料设置。(Profile settings.)
就像帖子一样，个人资料(Profile)部分允许您决定谁可以看到您的个人或个人资料详细信息，例如您的电话号码、电子邮件地址、生日、家乡、地址、工作、教育等。(your personal or profile details like your phone number, email address, birthday, hometown, address, work, education, etc.)建议将您的电话号码(phone number)和电子邮件地址(email address)设置为只有我(Only me)，因为您不希望任何随机的人知道有关您的此类信息。
对于您的生日，日期和月份的设置可能与年份不同。这是因为暴露您的确切出生日期可能会牺牲隐私，但您仍然希望您的朋友知道今天是您的生日。因此，您可以将日期和月份设置为“朋友”，将年份设置为“只有我”。( So you could set day and month as ‘Friends’ and year as ‘Only me’.)
对于所有其他详细信息，您可以决定所需的隐私级别并进行相应设置。
3.应用程序和网站(3.Apps and websites)
最后一部分处理哪些应用程序和网站可以访问您的信息及其在Facebook 上(Facebook)的可见性。您可能已经使用您的Facebook帐户登录了许多应用程序。现在，这些应用程序具有某些权限并可以访问您的某些信息。(permissions and access to some of your information.)
对于不再使用的应用程序，建议您将其删除。要删除应用程序，请选中该应用程序的复选框(select the checkbox)，然后单击底部的“删除”按钮以删除一个或多个选定的应用程序。(Remove)
单击“完成(Finish)”按钮以完成隐私检查。(complete the Privacy Check-Up.)
请注意，隐私检查(Privacy Check-Up)只带您完成非常基本的隐私设置。您可能需要重置许多详细的隐私选项。这些在隐私设置中可用，并在下面讨论。
隐私设置(Privacy Settings)
通过您Facebook帐户的“(Facebook)设置(Settings)” ，您可以设置所有详细和特定的隐私选项。要访问设置，
1.在桌面上登录您的 Facebook 帐户。(Login to your Facebook account)
2.单击页面右上角的向下箭头。(down-pointing arrow)
3.点击设置。(Settings.)
在左侧窗格中，您将看到不同的部分，这些部分将帮助您单独调整每个部分的隐私设置，例如隐私、时间线和标记、阻止等。(Privacy, Timeline, and tagging, Blocking, etc.)
1.隐私(1.Privacy)
从左侧窗格中选择“隐私(Privacy)”以访问高级隐私选项。(advanced privacy options.)
你的活动(YOUR ACTIVITY)
谁可以看到你的未来的帖子？
这与隐私检查的帖子部分( Posts section of Privacy Check-Up)相同。在这里，您可以为以后的帖子设置受众。(set the audience for your future posts.)
查看您的所有帖子和您被标记的内容
此部分将带您进入活动日志( Activity Log)，您可以在其中查看帖子（您在他人时间线上的帖子）、您被标记的帖子、其他人在您的时间线上的帖子。这些在左窗格中可用。您可以查看(You can review)每个帖子并决定删除或隐藏(delete or hide)它们。
请注意，您可以通过单击编辑图标( edit icon.)删除他人时间线上的帖子。(delete your posts on others’ timeline)
对于您被标记的帖子，您可以删除标签或简单地从时间轴中隐藏帖子。
对于他人在您自己的时间线上发布的帖子，您可以将其删除或从您的时间线上隐藏。
限制您与朋友之友或公众分享的帖子的分享对象
此选项可让您快速将所有旧帖子的受众限制为(quickly limit the audience for ALL your old posts)“朋友”，无论他们是“朋友的朋友”还是“公众”。但是，那些在帖子中被标记的人和他们的朋友仍然可以看到该帖子。
人们如何找到和联系您(HOW PEOPLE CAN FIND AND CONTACT YOU)
谁可以向您发送好友请求？
您可以在公开(Public)和朋友(Friends)的朋友之间进行选择。
谁可以看到你的好友列表？
您可以根据自己的喜好在Public、Friends、 Only me 和Custom之间进行选择。(Custom)
谁可以使用您提供的电子邮件地址查找您？或者您可以使用您提供的电话号码查找谁？
这些设置允许您限制谁可以使用您的电子邮件地址或电话号码查找您。对于这两种情况，您可以在Everyone、Friends或Friends of Friends之间进行选择。(Friends)
您是否希望 Facebook 以外的其他搜索引擎链接到您的时间线？
如果您自己用Google搜索过，您的(Google)Facebook个人资料很可能会出现在热门搜索结果中。所以基本上，关闭此设置将阻止您的个人资料出现在其他搜索引擎上。(prevent your profile from appearing on other search engines.)
但是，即使打开此设置，也可能不会打扰您。这是因为对于那些不在Facebook 上(Facebook)的人，即使您打开了此设置并且您的个人资料作为搜索结果出现在其他搜索引擎上，他们也只能查看Facebook始终公开的非常具体的信息，例如您的姓名, 个人资料图片等
任何在Facebook 上(Facebook)并登录到他们的帐户的人都可以从其他搜索引擎访问您设置为“公开”的个人资料信息，并且无论如何这些信息都可以通过他们的(Public)Facebook搜索本身获得。
2.时间轴和标记(2.Timeline and tagging)
此部分允许您控制时间轴上显示的(control what appears on your timeline)内容、谁可以看到内容以及谁可以在帖子中标记您等。
时间线(TIMELINE)
谁能在你的时间线上发帖？
您基本上可以选择您的朋友是否也可以在您的时间线上发帖，(friends can also post on your timeline)或者您是否只能在您的时间线上发帖。
谁可以看到其他人在您的时间线上发布的内容？
您可以在所有人、朋友的朋友、朋友、只有我或自定义之间进行选择，作为(Everyone, Friends of Friends, Friends, Only Me or Custom as the audience)您时间轴上其他人帖子的受众。
允许其他人将您的帖子分享到他们的故事中吗？
启用此功能后，任何人都可以将您的公开帖子分享到他们的故事中，或者如果您标记某人，他们可以将其分享到他们的故事中。
从时间线中隐藏包含某些单词的评论
如果您想隐藏包含(hide comments containing certain abusive or unacceptable words)您选择的某些辱骂性或不可接受的单词或短语的评论，这是一个最近且非常有用的设置。只需(Simply)键入您不想出现的单词，然后单击“添加(Add)”按钮。如果需要，您甚至可以上传CSV文件。您还可以将表情符号添加到此列表中。这里唯一需要注意的是，发布包含此类词语的评论的人和他们的朋友仍然可以看到它。
标记(TAGGING)
谁可以在您的时间线上看到您被标记的帖子？
同样，您可以在所有人(Everyone)、朋友(Friends)的朋友(Friends)、朋友(Friends)、只有我或自定义(Custom)之间选择作为您在时间轴上标记的帖子的受众。
当您在帖子中被标记时，如果他们还没有在帖子中，您希望将谁添加到受众中？
每当有人在帖子中标记您时，该帖子对该帖子选择的受众都是可见的。但是，如果您想将部分或全部朋友添加到观众中，您可以。请注意，如果您将其设置为“只有我(Only me)”并且帖子的原始受众设置为“朋友”，那么您的共同朋友显然在受众中(your mutual friends are obviously in the audience)并且不会被删除。
审查(REVIEW)
在此部分下，您可以在自己查看之前阻止标记您的帖子( stop posts that you are tagged in)或其他人在您的时间线上发布的内容出现在您的时间线上。您可以相应地打开或关闭此设置。
3.阻塞(3.Blocking)
受限列表(RESTRICTED LIST)
包含您不希望看到您已将其受众设置为好友的帖子的好友。但是，他们将能够看到您的公开帖子或您分享到共同朋友时间轴的帖子。好的部分是，当您将它们添加到受限列表时，它们不会收到通知。
屏蔽用户(BLOCK USERS)
此列表允许您完全阻止某些用户(completely block certain users)查看您的时间轴上的帖子、标记您或向您发送消息。
阻止消息(BLOCK MESSAGES)
如果您想阻止某人向您发送消息，(block someone from messaging you,)您可以将他们添加到此列表中。但是，他们将能够在您的时间线上查看帖子、标记您等。
阻止应用程序邀请和阻止事件邀请(BLOCK APP INVITES and BLOCK EVENT INVITATIONS)
使用(Use)这些来阻止那些不断向您发出邀请的烦人朋友。您还可以使用BLOCK APPS和BLOCK PAGES 来阻止应用程序和页面。(BLOCK PAGES.)
4.应用程序和网站(4.Apps and websites)
虽然您可以在隐私检查(Privacy Check-Up)中删除您使用Facebook登录的应用程序，但您可以在此处找到有关应用程序权限的详细信息( find detailed information about app permissions)以及他们可以从您的个人资料中访问哪些信息。单击任何应用程序以查看或更改应用程序可以访问的内容(Click on any app to see or change what an app can access)以及谁可以看到您正在使用它。
5.公开帖子(5.Public posts)
在这里你可以设置谁可以关注你。(who can follow you.)您可以选择公开或朋友。 (Public or Friends. )您还可以选择谁可以点赞、评论或分享您的公开帖子或公开个人资料信息等。
6.广告(6.Ads)
广告商收集您的个人资料数据以便与您联系(Advertisers collect your profile data in order to reach you)。“您的信息(Your information)”部分允许您添加或删除某些影响针对您的广告的字段。
此外，在广告偏好下，您可以允许或拒绝基于(allow or reject ads based)合作伙伴数据的广告(Ads)、基于您在其他地方看到的Facebook 公司产品上的活动的(Facebook Company)广告(Ads)以及包含您的社交行为的广告。
受到推崇的：(Recommended:)
所以这一切都与Facebook 的隐私设置(Facebook’s Privacy Settings)有关。此外，这些设置将防止您的数据泄露给不受欢迎的受众，但您的帐户密码的安全性更为重要。您必须始终使用强且不可预测的密码。(You must always use strong and unpredictable passwords.)您也可以使用两步验证(two-step authentication)。
The Ultimate Guide to Manage Your Facebook Privacy Settings
How to Manage Your Facebook Privacy Settings: Facebook is a great platform for connecting with friends and colleagues and sharing your happy life moments with them in the form of pictures and videos. You can connect to different people, share your opinions and keep yourself updated with things going on around you. Facebook is loved for what it does but with all this data it has, it raises a whole lot of privacy concerns. You can’t trust anyone with your personal data, can you? That too, in the ever-growing cybercrime cases! It is, no doubt, really important to pay attention to what happens with all the stuff you post on Facebook, for example, who can see it or who can like it and what all details in your profile are visible to people. Fortunately, Facebook does provide many privacy settings so that you secure your data according to your needs. Handling these privacy settings may be confusing but it is possible. Here’s a guide to how you can manage your Facebook privacy settings and control what is done with your data.
Now before moving on to handling the privacy settings, you can go through Facebook’s very easy ‘Privacy Check-up’. Going through this check-up will allow you to review how your shared information is being handled currently and you can set up the most basic privacy options here.
WARNING: It’s Time to Manage Your Facebook Privacy Settings (2019)
Privacy Check-up
To check-up your current privacy settings,
1.Login to your Facebook account on the desktop.
2.Click on question-mark icon on the top right corner of the window.
3.Select ‘Privacy check-up’.
The Privacy Check-up has three major settings: Posts, Profile, and Apps & Websites. Let’s review each of them one by one.
1.Posts
With this setting, you can choose the audience for anything you post on Facebook. Your posts appear on your profile timeline and in other people (Friends) news feed, so you can decide who is able to see your posts.
Click on the drop-down menu to select one of the available options like Public, Friends, Friends except, Specific Friends or Only me.
For most of you, the ‘Public’ setting is not recommended as you wouldn’t want anyone to reach out to your personal posts and photos. You can, therefore, choose to set ‘Friends’ as your audience, wherein, only the people on your friend list can see your posts. Alternatively, you can choose ‘Friends except’ if you want to share your posts with most of your friends while leaving out a few or you can choose ‘Specific friends’ if you want to share your posts with a limited number of your friends.
Note that once you set your audience, that setting will be applicable to all your future posts unless you change it again. Also, each of your posts may have a different audience.
2.Profile
Once you are done with the Posts setting, click on Next to move on to Profile settings.
Just like Posts, Profile section allows you to decide who can see your personal or profile details like your phone number, email address, birthday, hometown, address, work, education, etc. Your phone number and email address are recommended to be set ‘Only me’ as you wouldn’t want any random people knowing such information about you.
For your birthday, the day and month may have a different setting than the year. This is because exposing your exact date of birth may sacrifice the privacy but you would still want your friends to know it’s your birthday. So you could set day and month as ‘Friends’ and year as ‘Only me’.
For all other details, you can decide what privacy level you require and set accordingly.
3.Apps and websites
This last section handles which apps and websites can access your information and their visibility on Facebook. There may be many apps that you may have logged in to using your Facebook account. Now these apps have certain permissions and access to some of your information.
For the apps that you no longer use, it is recommended that you remove them. To remove an app, select the checkbox against that app and click on ‘Remove’ button at the bottom to remove one or more selected apps.
Click on the ‘Finish’ button to complete the Privacy Check-Up.
Note that the Privacy Check-Up takes you through only the very basic privacy settings. There are a lot of detailed privacy options available that you may want to reset. These are available in the privacy settings and are discussed below.
Privacy Settings
Through the ‘Settings’ of your Facebook account, you can set all the detailed and specific privacy options. To access settings,
1.Login to your Facebook account on the desktop.
2.Click on the down-pointing arrow at the top rightmost corner of the page.
3.Click on Settings.
In the left pane, you will see different sections that will help you adjust privacy settings for each section individually, like Privacy, Timeline, and tagging, Blocking, etc.
1.Privacy
Select ‘Privacy’ from the left pane to access advanced privacy options.
YOUR ACTIVITY
Who can see your future posts?
This one is the same as the Posts section of Privacy Check-Up. Here you can set the audience for your future posts.
Review all your posts and things you’re tagged in
This section will take you to Activity Log where you can see Posts (your posts on others’ timeline), Posts you’re tagged in, Other people’s posts to your timeline. These are available on the left pane. You can review each of the posts and decide to delete or hide them.
Note that you can delete your posts on others’ timeline by clicking on the edit icon.
For the posts you’re tagged in, you can either remove the tag or simply hide the posts from your timeline.
For others’ posts to your own timeline, you can delete them or hide them from your timeline.
Limit the audience for posts you’ve shared with Friends of Friends or Public
This option allows you to quickly limit the audience for ALL your old posts to ‘Friends’, whether they were ‘Friends of friends’ or ‘Public’. However, those tagged in the post and their friends will still be able to see the post.
HOW PEOPLE CAN FIND AND CONTACT YOU
Who can send you friend requests?
You can choose between Public and Friends of friends.
Who can see your friends list?
You can choose between Public, Friends, Only me and Custom, depending upon your preference.
Who can look you up using the email address you provided? Or who can you look you up with the phone number you provided?
These settings allow you to restrict who can look you up using your email address or phone number. You can choose between Everyone, Friends, or Friends of Friends for both of these cases.
Do you want other search engines outside of Facebook to link to your timeline?
If you ever Google yourself, it is likely that your Facebook profile appears among the top search results. So basically, turning this setting off will prevent your profile from appearing on other search engines.
However, this setting, even when turned on, may not bother you much. This is because for those not on Facebook, even if you have this setting turned on and your profile appears as a search result on some other search engine, they will only be able to view very specific information which Facebook keeps public always, like your name, profile picture, etc.
Anyone on Facebook and logged in to their account can access your profile information which you have set “Public”from some other search engine and this information is anyways available through their Facebook search itself.
2.Timeline and tagging
This section allows you to control what appears on your timeline, who sees what and who can tag you in posts, etc.
TIMELINE
Who can post on your timeline?
You can basically choose if your friends can also post on your timeline or if only you are able to post on your timeline.
Who can see what others post on your timeline?
You can choose between Everyone, Friends of Friends, Friends, Only Me or Custom as the audience for others’ posts on your timeline.
Allow others to share your posts to their story?
When this is enabled, your public posts can be shared by anyone to their story or if you tag someone, they can share it to their story.
Hide comments containing certain words from the timeline
This is one is a recent and very useful setting if you want to hide comments containing certain abusive or unacceptable words or phrases of your choice. Simply type the word that you do not want to appear and click on Add button. You can even upload a CSV file if you want. You can also add emojis to this list. The only thing to be noted here is that person who has posted the comment containing such words and their friends will still be able to see it.
TAGGING
Who can see posts that you are tagged in on your timeline?
Again, you can choose between Everyone, Friends of Friends, Friends, Only Me or Custom as the audience for posts that you are tagged in on your timeline.
When you’re tagged in a post, who do you want to add to the audience if they aren’t already in it?
Whenever someone tags you in a post, that post is visible to the audience selected by that person for that post. However, if you want to add some or all of your friends to the audience, you can. Note that if you set it to ‘Only me’ and post’s original audience is set as ‘Friends’, then your mutual friends are obviously in the audience and will not be removed.
REVIEW
Under this section, you can stop posts that you are tagged in or what others post on your timeline from appearing on your timeline before you review them yourself. You can turn this setting on or off accordingly.
3.Blocking
RESTRICTED LIST
Contains friends who you do not want to see the posts for which you’ve set the audience as Friends. They will, however, be able to see your Public posts or those you share to a mutual friend’s timeline. The good part is that they won’t be notified when you add them to the restricted list.
BLOCK USERS
This list allows you to completely block certain users from seeing posts on your timeline, tagging you or message you.
BLOCK MESSAGES
If you want to block someone from messaging you, you can add them to this list. They will however be able to see posts on your timeline, tag you, etc.
BLOCK APP INVITES and BLOCK EVENT INVITATIONS
Use these to block those annoying friends who keep on bugging you with invitations. You can also block apps and pages using BLOCK APPS and BLOCK PAGES.
4.Apps and websites
While you can remove apps that you’ve logged in to using Facebook in the Privacy Check-Up, here you will find detailed information about app permissions and what information they can access from your profile. Click on any app to see or change what an app can access and who can see that you’re using it.
5.Public posts
Here you can set who can follow you. You can either select Public or Friends. You can also choose who can like, comment or share your public posts or public profile info, etc.
6.Ads
Advertisers collect your profile data in order to reach you. ‘Your information’ section allows you to add or remove certain fields that influence the ads targeted to you.
Further, under Ad preferences, you can allow or reject ads based on data from partners, Ads based on your activity on Facebook Company Products that you see elsewhere, and Ads that include your social action.
Recommended:
So this was all about Facebook’s Privacy Settings. Additionally, these settings will save your data from leaking out to the unwanted audience but the security of your account password is even more important. You must always use strong and unpredictable passwords. You can also use two-step authentication for the same.
