How To Reset Facebook Privacy Settings to Protect yourself from Graph Search

Have you set your Facebook Profile Privacy properly? You need to do it once more or at least review your profile privacy as Facebook has rolled out Graph Search which helps a user to search for a person to search for a person of his interest.


The problem that might arise due to Graph Search may be because it searches the stuff that you share with others and that with is share specifically with you.  This would be terrifying for those who are privacy conscious or share some content with only specific persons or themselves only. For instance you are one’s friend and that person publicizes a message to all his friends then this message will be included in Graph Search.
However Facebook receive intense criticism from everyone on this step taken by the website as it reveals all the private content to others but Facebook claims that this is the content that you have already uploaded to share no matter with whom but now it’s going to be public.
On the other hand Graph Search may have positive effect for some. I am not talking for all but for some people. This would be fine for those who are apt to to reveal information about themselves or friends without thinking about consequences of those actions. This could be an exercise for the users to understand how their shared content can be shared by someone else as a miss use.
This leaves us with only a single option to protect ourselves being shared publically, to post only the content with which you are comfortable. I think this is annoying as this kills the purpose of using platform like Facebook.
You could have a look on to Facebook’s new blog post that relates protecting your Privacy in Graph Search this addresses some of the privacy related issues of Graph Search. In this post you might find some of the frequently asked questions relating this. This includes: 
  • How do I control what information shows up about me in Graph Search
  • How do I control the audience of my likes
  • Can people see things about my friends through Graph Search
  • How do I view and control what photos of me are on Facebook
Now the first thing you should do is to check your Facebook Profile for the information and content that you have shared on it. Don’t forget to visit the following links in order to check your privacy set on different parameters and also apply the new settings as well.
  1. Activity Log – This lists all of your activities on Facebook
  2. Review photos – You shared or have been tagged in
  3. About – Information that you reveal about yourself on the about page.
