I just checked my Facebook Privacy Settings ‘What your friends can share about you through applications and websites’ and the ‘My Birthday’ was still enabled – That’s a real privacy and identity theft risk as fas as I’m concerned and should be OFF by default.
Did you know that you could be recommending products and services to people on Facebook? Check out the ‘Facebook Ads’ section in you ‘My Account’ settings and turn off this feature if you’d rather not be unwittingly promoting advertisers products.
So Facebook is STILL failing on the privacy and safety issues for me, you may want to do an in depth review of ALL the settings in your Facebook account.
