I have not changed my behaviour, as my privacy settings have always been the tightest possible. All of my details, friends, groups to which I belong, and all off my posts have always been not visible to anyone other than friends. The only exception is my profile pic and cover picture, which need to be "Public" to be visible. I have shown many people how to use the "View as" feature to see what the world can see on their Facebook page. It's shocking how few people are aware of that and many other Facebook functions. I am administrator of several groups, some of which have many thousand people, and every day it seems I educate someone about Facebook privacy and their settings. Even so, I have always felt that nothing is actually private on Facebook, as I am aware that Facebook monitors posts and looks for key words that alert them of such things as crime and suicide. Thankfully I can check my grandchildren's Facebook pages to make sure they're as safe as possible. Too many children have been taken advantage of by unsavoury people on Facebook.
