Stay Safe Online: Tips for Navigating Facebook

In summary, the most important privacy settings to adjust on Facebook include profile visibility, who can see posts and photos, and who can send friend requests. To protect personal information, limit what is shared on the profile, be cautious of friend requests, and regularly review and revoke access to third-party apps. If an account is suspected to be hacked, change the password, review activity, and report the hack to Facebook. Red flags on Facebook include suspicious friend requests, requests for personal information or money, and posts or messages containing malware or phishing links. Inappropriate or harmful content can be reported by clicking on the three dots and selecting "Report" on a post, message, or profile/page. Facebook will review and take appropriate action.

Yahoo news article worth reading:http://tech.yahoo.com/news/nf/20090305/tc_nf/65095Always be sure you go directly to Facebook...via www . facebook . com not through an unknown link, and never click on things where you are not sure of the source, no matter how fun and exciting they are.
Many of you trusted my link above, which is legitimate, but often a virus can post similar things to a user's profile and take you to not so good sites. Basically, learn and use caution, don't be click-happy...anywhere!
 
I saw that yesterday, thanks Janet.
 
Very good advice. Thanks for looking out for us, Janet.
 
Thanks Janet. I am running antivirus software!!
