Social Media Updates & Considerations

This month's blog is brought to us by Jeff Coburn, Tech Aficionado: 
​
Hey folks!  With word about Facebook data issues making the news recently, I thought I’d share three places under Facebook’s settings you can check periodically to keep yourself safer:

  1. Privacy: This is where you can see who you’re sharing with, what you’re sharing, etc.  I recommend checking periodically (put it on your calendar as a reminder, if it helps).
Picture
2. Security and Login: that will show you recent logins.  If you don’t recognize a login, there are three dots next to it that will give you a “not you?” prompt to secure your account. (Also good to know: you can change your password from security and login as well.  I recommend you do that periodically with all online sites, not just Facebook).
Picture
3. Apps: One way companies get info about you is through apps you have connected to.  If there are apps listed there you don’t use (like the two weeks you binged on Candy Crush or day you decided to Elf Yourself), click the checkbox next to it and click on the remove box; you can always add the app back later.  If there are apps you want to keep, click the edit settings pencil next to them to see what it is sharing. This is a good place to check periodically as well.
Picture
​Also, one general suggestion with Facebook, other social media, or email: be suspicious of links.  For Facebook, sometimes they drag you in with “hot topic headlines” based on your posting habits.  Clicking those eventually bring you to some unwanted site (like a news article that turns into a sales pitch).  For email, sometimes you will get a link to update your personal bank or shopping site info; always log directly into those sites instead of clicking the message links to check and update your information. 
 
Hope this helps.  Happy posting!
