‘Profile’ it states that your friends can always see your profile – which is
standard. But you can choose whether you want people in your networks or some
of your networks – which you can select – are able to view your profile.

of your networks and friends, or everyone. If you select something other than

people in college networks, high school networks, company networks, regional
networks, and people with no networks and make them unable to search for you.

other people in your friend list will be notified of what you’re up to. So in

when you change them. For example by deselecting ‘Write a wall post’ – your
friends won’t be notified when you write on someone’s wall. You can also remove
‘Show times in my mini-feed’ which will get rid of the clock next to the news
feed story. Click ‘Save’ to exit and return to the privacy settings page.
Step 7: Poke, Message and Friend Request
When you contact someone through a poke, message, or friend request, Facebook
lets that person see part of your profile temporarily, even if your privacy and
network settings would usually prevent him or her from seeing your profile.
This helps that person identify who you are before they respond. You can select
what information you’d like them to see using the check boxes below. For
example, at the moment people can see Basic info, Personal Info, Education
Info, Work Info, Friends and Posts. You can add to this by selecting or
deselecting any of these boxes.

restrict who can see your notes. Like in other privacy settings you can select
just your friends or a combination of your networks and friends. You can even
restrict viewing access to just yourself. You can select who can comment on
your notes. Choose from ‘Anyone’, ‘only my friends’ or turn ‘Comments’ off
completely. You can select who can subscribe to your notes. Select, ‘anyone who
can see my notes can subscribe to my notes’ or ‘no one can subscribe’. Click
‘save’ to save your changes and exit.
Step 9: Facebook Platform
Click on ‘Facebook platform’. This is simply a place where you can determine
what people can and can’t see when your friends are using certain sites and
applications, like those in Facebook’s product directory, where some of your
information may be made available. If you click on ‘Product directory’ you can
see what these sites are. So select and deselect any sections of your profile
that you don’t want people to view, and click ‘Save’ to save your settings and
exit.
Step 10: Blocking people
If you want to completely sever any ties with a person on Facebook, simply
search for them in the ‘Block people’ option, and block them. Once you block
someone, they will not be able to search for you, see your profile, or contact
you on Facebook.

This option allows you to enter people from your friend list and select them as
being only able to see your limited profile. If you click on ‘Edit settings’
under limited profile, you can select and deselect which aspects of your
profile limited users are able to see.

Facebook advises you to not hesitate to report something you see as abuse on
the site. In most cases you will find a ‘Report’ link below a picture or other
piece of content, such as a wall post. When you select this, Facebook lets you
specify what type of abuse it is and make a confidential report. The Facebook
authorities will then study it and decide what action to take. If someone is
harassing you, Facebook recommends blocking them immediately in the ‘Block
people’ option on the privacy settings page to cease any further contact
between you and this person.
