I made a change in the blogger configuration to ease the later work when blogging. It is possible that older entries are not correctly formatted.

Privacy on Facebook

Thanks to a friend, I heard about the site: http://www.reclaimprivacy.org. It contains certain useful information on privacy settings onf Facebook. For instance, there is an interesting page on the privacy on facebook (hosted by the New York Times).

In order to check your own privacy on Facebook, you can follow the instructions on the website:

This website provides an independent and open tool for scanning your Facebook privacy settings. The source code and its development will always remain open and transparent.

Note: we are still working on privacy scans for your photos and status updates. The tool does not check these yet, so stay tuned for updates!

  1. 1. Drag this link to your web browser bookmarks bar: Scan for Privacy
  2. 2. Go to your Facebook privacy settings and then click that bookmark once you are on Facebook.
  3. 3. You will see a series of privacy scans that inspect your privacy settings and warn you about settings that might be unexpectedly public.
  4. 4. Follow us on Facebook to hear about the latest updates.
