Privacy is not an option, and it shouldn't be the price we accept for just getting on the Internet. Once you've lost your privacy, you realize you've lost an extremely valuable thing. Please do comment your opinions, advises and experiences down in the comment section below!

1. Tutorial: How To Set
Facebook Privacy Settings

2. Script: Hi everyone, today
I’ll be teaching you how
to set Privacy setting on
your Facebook.
Introduction:

3. Script: Your timeline is where all Facebook activity
shows up: new status updates, new photos you've
uploaded or been tagged in, posts other people have
tagged you in, and even the songs you're listening to
on Spotify. You can control every aspect of your
timeline's privacy through Facebook's main Privacy
Settings page, and even make sure nothing shows up
on your timeline without your consent (it may still show
up on other people's pages, but not your timeline).
Scene 1

4. Script: You can see the most basic settings by clicking
the privacy icon in the top right-hand corner of any
Facebook page (the one that looks like a padlock).
Here, you'll see a few sections with quick settings you
can set. You can tweak things here if you like, but
we're going to delve into the more advanced
settings, which contain more options. Click on the
"See More Settings" link to get started.
Scene 2

5. Script: The first section you see in the sidebar,
called Privacy Settings and Tools, dictates
who can see your posts and look you up on
Facebook. The settings include:

Scene 3.3.2

7. Who can see your future posts? This changes who, by
default, can see your status updates. You can set it to
Public, Friends, or something custom (like only one of your
networks). However, this setting means almost nothing. You
can decide who sees any individual post by setting it from
the status box as you write, and it will not revert back to the
default afterwards. That means if you make one post and
set it to Public, you'll need to set it back to "Friends Only" the
next time, or all your future posts will be public. The "default"
setting in your privacy settings doesn't really do anything.
Scene 3.1.0

8. Review all your posts and things you're tagged in: This
takes you to the Activity Log, where you'll see each
and every tiny update that goes to Facebook on
your profile. That could be a song you listened to on
Spotify, a new photo you uploaded, or a new status
your friend tagged you in. From the Activity Log, you
can tweak who can see each individual update, as
well as whether it shows up on your main timeline.
Scene 3.1.1

9. Limit the audience for past posts: If, in the past,
you have any posts that are set to be viewable
by "Friends of Friends" or the Public, you can use
this option to limit all of them to Friends Only. This
is a good way of starting with a "clean slate" of
privacy, ensuring that none of those past posts
are accidentally marked Public.
Scene 3.1.2

10. Who can send you friend requests: This is
pretty self-explanatory. If you don't want
strangers friending you, setting this to
"Friends of Friends" can help (ensuring
that only someone with one degree of
separation can send requests).
Scene 3.2.0

11. Whose messages get filtered into your inbox: As you
may know, your Facebook has two inboxes, and one
of them is kind of hard to find. This setting determines
how strong the filtering is that pushes messages to
that second inbox. Basic Filtering will put more
messages in your inbox (which makes them easier to
find, but could give you more spam) while Strict
Filtering makes sure that only your friends show up in
your inbox. The rest will appear in your "Other" inbox.
Scene 3.2.1

12. Who can look you up using
your email: If you want people
to be able to find your profile
just by using your email
address, set this accordingly.
Scene 3.3.0

13. Who can look you up by phone number:
This applies to people who can't already
see your phone number. If you want
people to be able to find your profile just
by searching your phone number, set this
accordingly. Otherwise, you can lock it
down by changing this to just Friends.
Scene 3.3.1

14. Do you want search engines
to link to your timeline? If you
don't want your Facebook
profile indexed in Google,
turn this off.
Scene 3.3.2

15. Script: The other main section of Facebook's
privacy settings—called Timeline and Tagging—
deals with the content other people post and tag
you in: pictures, status updates, check-ins, and
more. Here are the settings you'll want to tweak:

17. Who can post on your
timeline? This denotes who
can post on your timeline
(formerly known as "write on
your wall"): Friends or No One.
Scene 4.1.0

18. Review Posts friends tag you in: By turning this
setting on, you'll get a notification whenever
a friend tags you in a post. It won't show up
on your timeline until you explicitly allow it. It'll
show up on theirs still, but not your own until
you review it and mark it as okay. I
recommend turning this on.
Scene 4.1.1

19. Review what other people see on your
timeline: If you aren't sure how your profile
looks to one of your friends (or to the
public), you can use this feature to view it
"from their eyes" and make sure you don't
have any private information showing to
those you don't want it shown.
Scene 4.2.0

20. Who can see posts you've been
tagged in: If someone tags you in a
post and you've allowed it on your
timeline, this denotes who can see it:
Everyone, Friends of Friends, just
Friends, or a custom setting.
Scene 4.2.1

21. Who can see what others post
on your timeline: When others
"write on your wall," this setting
denotes who can see those
posts.
Scene 4.2.2

22. Review tags add to your own posts before the
tags appear on Facebook: This is similar to the
aforementioned Profile Review, but works for
tags other people put on your posts. So, if you
post a photo and someone wants to tag
themselves or others in it, turning this on lets you
review those tags before they show up. Again, I
recommend turning this On.
Scene 4.3.0

23. When you're tagged in a post, who do
you want to add to the audience? Say a
friend of yours tags you in a photo or post,
but some of your friends aren't friends with
that person. This allows you to add your
friends to the allowed audience for that
post.
Scene 4.3.1

24. Who sees tag suggestions when photos that
look like you are uploaded: This is Facebook's
"face recognition" feature. When someone
uploads photos that look like you, Facebook will
recommend they tag you in them. If you aren't
comfortable with Facebook scanning and
matching your face on photos, go ahead and
set this to "No One."
Scene 4.3.2

25. Script: Let’s move on to Blocking. If
you want to take steps to keep
people away from your profile, this
is the section for you.

27. •If you don’t want to un-friend somebody
but you don’t want them to see all of
your information, you can add them to
the Restricted List. This means they can
only see your public information, but
they have no way of knowing you’ve
limited their view.
Restricted list
Scene 5.1.0

28. •You can also just straight up block
somebody. This means this person cannot
be your friend. This is an excellent setting if
you have stalkers or other people
consistently bothering you. Note that this
does not stop them from interacting with
you in apps, games or groups you're both a
part of.

Scene 5.1.1

29. •In addition to blocking and
restricting people from your
profile, you can also block app
invitations on a user-by-user
basis.

Scene 5.1.2

30. •Typing the name of the
Facebook user into this section
will stop you from seeing any
future event invites from that
person.

Scene 5.1.3

31. •Some apps and Facebook games are great fun
at first, but after a while, you want to drop them.
You can remove the app or game or block the
app, which means it can no longer contact you
or get non-public information about you through
Facebook. If you are getting emails from the
app, you will have to use the unsubscribe link at
the bottom of the email.
Block apps
Scene 5.1.4

32. •Once you block a Page, that Page can
no longer interact with your posts or like
or reply to your comments. You'll be
unable to post to the Page's Timeline or
message the Page. If you currently like
the Page, blocking it will also unlike and
unfollow it.
