I have a FB profile. I don't post status updates or even articles. I have only the profile picture, no albums. I constantly refine my privacy settings to the strictest possible. Nobody can tag me in photos, etc. Nobody can see me wall (even friends).
I need a FB account for work. When FB inevitably becomes so invasive that people begin to panic and delete their profiles, I can safely delete (deactivate) mine. FB may keep all of my data, hopefully I won't have given them anything that isn't worthless.
I think the only safe policy is to refrain entirely from adding any information to the system; you may never get it back. Even seemingly innocuous status updates and public conversations could look suspicious/unprofessional/embarrassing later on.
- w1ntermute 15y ago> I need a FB account for work. If you don't mind me asking, why do you need an FB account for work, especially when it sounds like you don't even use it?
- verelo 15y agoSame situation, i needed one for work. Worked @ a social media management company...Facebook doesnt like "Fake accounts" so maintaining a real one for work, for the purpose of testing was something you needed to do. Its a real pain in the ass, mixes personal and work way too much. I had a Facebook account already, and i still do, so i didn't mind too much....but i dislike the left overs its causes (installed apps, pages in my name, app keys in my name etc...although this was just due to poor management of these assets)
