Following the recent Facebook privacy scandal, have you changed your behaviour on Facebook? Are you conscious about how much you share and are you worried about your privacy?

I have my Facebook locked down to Friends Only, and I carefully monitor the settings regularly. In saying that, I am very careful about what even makes it to Facebook in the first place. I don't put my contact details anywhere, identifying information, and definitely no financial information at all. A hacker would look at my details and be bored out of their mind. I don't have it linked to any other app, programme or site in any way, and I have revoked any permissions I inadvertently gave in the past. Nothing outside Facebook has access at all (I don't do those sill quizzes that use Facebook info, and I don't play Facebook games.), so I am less concerned than many other might be. But I am still vigilant about what I put up, what others put up about me and how it might be used by others.
