I also thought of doing that but I don't know if it's a good idea. Because it's not just up to you to not post private stuff. What about the private stuff your friends post about you on your wall?

On the other hand, limiting my profile also has only limited privacy benefits because my friends and family don't understand and can't be bothered to tweak fifty different checkboxes to get their privacy settings right. So anything I say or do on their Facebook pages is out in the open.

I'm wondering if it's even worth thinking about so much. Ugh.



About the only thing I do really limit is the privacy of things friends post on my wall etc.

In terms of other stuff they do (controlled by their privacy settings) I think you just have to be aware of what's going on. I've de-tagged a few photo's etc.


Oh I remember de-tagging photos once. It made me laugh when I realised Facebook was making me do work and there was no end to this chore!!!
