Facebook Privacy: 8 Ways to Protect Yourself

You want to use Facebook, but you also want to keep your private information from being spread all over the Internet.

The key is to understand how Facebook works, where your information is going, and how to navigate the service's labyrinth of privacy controls.

Take the time to update your settings. 

Chances are you check Facebook every day anyway, so take a few minutes today, go into your privacy controls, and make some choices.
