Beware of Facebook Recent Activity

Advice on how to deal with the changes on the "recent activity" that posts on your wall. Please note that this video is NOT 14 minutes long. My video editing software would not delete the blank area for some reason. I have re-posted this twice.

Question is, Say. Theres Dakota , Bailey, and... uhh Andrew

Okay so I Dakota comment on Baileys status. Andrew doesn't know her. but yet it shows up on his news feed that I commented on her status. What's up with that?

@SYT3C Yeah, I think what's going on here is that you were tagged in the post or the person has their profile open with that kind of access. Like maybe on "friend of a friend" settings.

Only 1000 views after 4 months? People don't care about privacy anymore..

Facebook removed that option to suck people into their facebook pages so that they constantly check who wrote what and where.

@timidimit Awww well I don't get that many views on my videos anyways. I am still trying to figure out how to make a video that will go viral.

[ThatMarika]

@timidimit Great ideas... you rock. I am doing a video today on Better Facebook and how it works.  This adds lots of privacy. My friend told me about something else I will do a video about too that might help people who care about privacy too. I do but you are right some don't or maybe not really aware how important it is.

@ThatMarika It's not only privacy they should be aware of but also of the trend of eroding it. Facebook spokesmen try each time to assure that privacy settings are better each update and they strive to improve it - a bunch of hypocrites.

Their motto should be "Facebook is about sharing whether you want it or not".

@ThatMarika If people cared about privacy more - it would be viral.

You should do it more dynamic, fast, throw in some simple animation with exaggerated examples (e.g. dad seeing comments of his daughter commenting something inappropriate etc.)
