ALERT: More Facebook Privacy Changes

Last week, Facebook made some privacy changes that would expose some of
your information to "everyone", unless you change your settings from
that automatic pre-set.

Here's another change:

If you don't know, as of today, Facebook will automatically index all
your info on Google, which allows everyone to view it. To change this
option, go to Settings -- Privacy Settings -- Search -- then UN-CLICK
the box that says 'Allow indexing'. Facebook kept this one quiet. Copy
and paste onto your status for all your friends ASAP.

A good reason, if you're on Facebook, to check on a regular basis to see
what changes they've made, and not let your account remain dormant for
weeks at a time.

When I hear about something like this, I do post a message about it, but
that doesn't help those friends who only check FB once every 3 months.




I passed the warning along to DD, who responded with this:
