Protect Your Facebook Privacy

Author: RobertinSeattle

Facebook’s deal with Google starts today. Even if you had chosen only to let your friends view your pictures and information on Facebook, they just cut a deal that allows Google to find and index everything on your Facebook page unless you opt out immediately. Here are the 3 steps you need to disable Google indexing of all your information:

STEP 1 – Click on your Settings Tab at the top of your screen to get to your Settings page:

1. Settings

STEP 2 – Click Manage on your Privacy Settings:

2 Privacy Settings

STEP 3 – Uncheck Allow Indexing (you can also change the Facebook Search Results setting to Only Friends):

3 Disable Indexing

    That’s about as protected on Facebook as you can get, just remember according to the Facebook ToS they can (and do) give out your details.
