Online Security on Social Media
How is FACEBOOK working to keep its community safe? As a promoter of best practices for main street businesses, I find the recent Congressional Q&A with Mark Zuckerberg to have brought forward an opportunity for the general public to be more knowledgeable and mindful of the practices of all online social channels.
Facebook and other social platforms are pushing out emails, text messages, and PSA announcements to provide their audiences with the latest privacy policies. In the last week I have received emails informing me of privacy policy updates from CheapDomain, GoDaddy, Pinterest, and Facebook.
Over the next few weeks I will share information about the privacy policy as posted by Facebook. It will be mostly verbatim copy, with easy-to-read formatting to call out the highlights and allow you to see what the details are behind their policies.
Here’s this week’s breakout of the Facebook Privacy Policy update.

We're working to better protect your privacy and reduce the amount of misleading information on Facebook so that you see the stories that matter to you most.
Protecting Your Privacy
· We're taking action on potential past abuse (ex: Cambridge Analytica) and putting stronger protections in place to prevent future abuse of our platform. We're making it easier for you to manage the apps you use.
· If we remove an app for misusing data, we'll tell everyone who used that app.
· If you haven't used an app within the last 3 months, we'll remove the app's access to your information.
· We're also changing the way Facebook Login works to reduce the data an app can request.
Learn more about how we're working to prevent platform abuse.
