WHAT FACEBOOK KNOWS ABOUT YOU

Every keystroke on Facebook is saved. Every time something is liked on

Facebook is saved. Every site that you visit that has a like

button Facebook knows about it….even if your not logged in.

Every search every request, poke, setting, everything is saved.

AND YOUR JOB

Employers, IRS agents, insurers, and college administration offices can get a lot of information off of everything you post.

Facebook is now used as a background check.

Things they look for are the following: Racist remarks, sexually explicit video, photos, etc., and any illegal activity.

70% of human resource offices have denied job applicants based on what they have posted to social media sites.

YOUR PRIVACY

13million people are unaware of Facebook privacy settings.

If you use the Facebook app everything you do may be seen by a third party.

Your Facebook pictures Can be used to track you just by your facial features.

If you don’t have any of the settings on people can go through every thing u have posted, tagged in, etc.
