Facebook can be as open or as private as you want it to be. I have friends that are not search-able and look as though they do not have FB pages. They do. Their posts are made to specific people (which is fairly recent to be able to specify your status to that extent) and even friends of friends cannot see them. Now you really can't play games like that (because games want your info to reuse) but for them it is okay. If you go through FB and start "liking" lots of open pages, more of your info does get out.mei lan said:

I will say I wish more parents would look at their kids pages. I can pretty much tell you everything, including DOB, phone#, and address for most of the teens I am friends with.
I have my email and phone number available to my friends.They have that anyway, but I could make it private if I want. I know that some stuff FB just has. Its a given, but I also know that people do not reset or check their privacy settings much if at all. It is more private that some think.
I think I blocked the e-mails, I didn't know it was unblocked, thanks SD. I don't want apps and I don't do games, either. I keep getting some stupid game requests from a distant relative. I'm going to block her if she continues.naturegirl said:I don't farm, yo, or bingo. I don't play any games. Like Fox, I just use FB to keep in touch with friends and family. I do know if you have https in the beginning of the address the "s" means it's secure. If you don't have that all those apps are gathering your info, all the time. Even if I try to go to an app, it tells me to remove the "s", I don't.
Go check in the address bar, if it just says http, you can change it.

I think I blocked the app, I'm not sure. Navigating FB is not user friendly. I stripped down my page to basically nothing, information wise. If y'all wanted to know about me, you missed your chance. :neenerbutt. You would have been bored, anyway!naturegirl said:Callahan said:I think I blocked the e-mails, I didn't know it was unblocked, thanks SD. I don't want apps and I don't do games, either.

You don't have to block her, you can just block the app.
