[Beb00April]

do you know how to disable facebook place to pc/laptop ?

[azharil100]

can u make how to banned people on facebook?

[glynnth]

I have a problem with Facebook MONITORING MY LOCATION, period! When did I ever give them permission to do that?? Even if you disable their ability to SHARE your location with others, THEY still know where you are! This is a serious violation of basic privacy, in my opinion. I am deleting my Facebook account, over this one! They also make it an issue for signing in, if their system notices u r signing in "from an unusual location" they will block access to your account.

This is a misleading title. Facebook Places isn't disabled at all. You've just, basically, hid yourself from others in regards to facebook places. This still doesn't help me solve the biggest problem, having to view other peoples constant check-ins.

what software did you use to record the screen?

Great article AND video Lifehacker! Just put you on my Moxie Mo Show podcast as a lot of my audience is wanting to use Facebook Places but also are too afraid of its privacy implications.

I don't see an "ONLY ME " Option . 

[baberwaber]

@AnimalLover1977 you need to click "custom" on the drop down and then choose "only me". Its at 44 secs on the video.

[usachicagousa]

Very useful. Thank you! - Before this video I didn't know anything about Facebook Places.

@pbvideo: Thank you too.

[jdgmommy31103]

Is it just me, or does Facebook WANT people to be stalked, raped, and murdered??

[RavenCK]

Cheers, very useful! :)

Hacker my ass.. No body hacks on a Mac

[BrandonC3]

@TheUltimateGeek1 Thats because they're too stupid.

[TheUltimateGeek1]

@BrandonC3 EXACTLY

[SnailzRus]

@TheUltimateGeek1 actually its easier on mac because they cant hack you back...

[TheUltimateGeek1]

@SnailzRus Not really. Macs cant supporty half of the programming Windows does

[BrandonC3]

@TheUltimateGeek1 Macs have been proven to be easier to hack then PC's. The problem is, no one gives a shit about hacking a Mac. I mean once you hack into one, what have you really accomplished? Nothing. It's like hacking hacked your way into a Fisherprice learning laptop to get the soundwave file "The cow goes moo!", congratulations.

[TheUltimateGeek1]

@BrandonC3 Exactly. And again, to hack macs you have to learn a new programmign language or a universal language which can be difficult if you are used to PC's (Like Me)

[SnailzRus]

@SnailzRus there are programs to let you do that **** face

[thompson8305]

@SnailzRus Are you talking to yourself?

[SnailzRus]

@thompson8305 no

[Kstylero7]

@TheUltimateGeek1 You sure have a lot of fun with that thing...

how many games hasssssssssssss?

[backto1960]

Thanks guys

Actually, there's one more Setting to change:

Even as private as you might have made your settings, Applications and Connect sites can access your check-ins THROUGH YOUR FRIENDS! Here’s how to put a stop to that:

> Privacy Settings > Applications, Games and Websites > Info accessible through your friends > Edit Settings > UNCHECK Places I’ve visited

This way, a game or some app that one of your friend's has enabled, cannot access the places you've visited.
