Edit your Facebook profile!
My blog asides never get that long but this has to be said. If you’ve got a Facebook account, be careful. Your profile is an open source of information to Facebook and you’ve signed to give them the right to do anything with these. New elements are now coming on. Your profile photos can be sold by Facebook or used by it for adverts. This is how blogger Cheryl Smith found her photo used for a “hot singles” ad on Facebook. So if you want to prevent your photos from being used for ads you have to change these settings (as found by Cheryl Smith) in your Facebook profile:
1. Settings
2. Privacy
3. News Feed and Wall
4. Click on “Facebook Ads”
5. In the “Appearance in Facebook Ads” box, click “no one” (unless, of course, you actually want to tell your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend to check out hot singles)
Good luck to you all Facebook users.
