Windows 7 forum: Facebook Privacy Question

I wish there was a good alternative to FB. I never fully trusted it to begin with and now more certain that it's best just to post pics and stupid/benign stuff for friends and family to see. Thanks

My setttings is for my friends only when I post a comment or a picture.

My understanding was that you could forget about privacy too when putting out any comments on FB unless done through a private message directly to that person. I know my comments will be out there. However, I just wasn't sure if FB was set up so my friends would, I guess by default, get my comments I make on a newsfeed sent to them - if that person was not the originator of the newsfeed or involved with it in anyway. I hope I'm explaining myself correctly. I make political comments with groups that share my belief but have friends that don't share the same beliefs and want them out of the conversation or at least not subjected to political comments I make. I like Facebook's ability to share among groups of people but due have my privacy concerns. I guess this presents a dilemma. Thanks for your quick response.

So if you want something private, we don't involve FB at any time. If you want to grill FB about this, go right ahead but for now, I would not trust it.

I think you may have misunderstood. I know comments I make on a news feed is NOT private. I just wanted to know whether all my friends receive my comments on a news feed they had nothing to do with. Thanks though for your help.

If I want anything private, it will never involve facebook. This company has made it clear that you can never be sure what will leak or show even with all your settings just so.

If you feel they earned your trust, why not go ahead with your plan?
