8 Critical Ways To Protect Your Privacy On The New Facebook

As some of you have already noticed, Facebook just rolled out a huge revamp of some of its core features like News Feed, while adding new features like Smart Lists and News Ticker.

Business Insider put together a great list of privacy settings that you should pay attention to on these new features:

1. Know that anything you post or comment on a friend’s wall is public. Your posts will show up in others’ News Tickers
2. Remember to check sharing settings before you post an update.
3. Be very careful adding people to your Smart Lists associated with work or study. They’ll get notified.
4. Go to your profile and click “View As…” Then click “public” to see how your profile looks to the world.
5. Subscribing does not equal stalking someone you’re not friends with. “Subscribing” to somebody’s public updates is a public act, just like following on Twitter.
6. Click the drop down arrow in the top right of your screen, then “Privacy Settings,” then “How Tags Work.” Make sure you’re cool with each setting.
7. Want to only make parts of your profile public and parts private? Click “Edit Profile” on your profile and change these settings.
8. So who can see that picture, anyway? Find out by clicking the gear next to a picture.
