Right, I’m fed up again so it’s time for another rant. This time it really is in your interest to read this and more importantly to probably take some action.
People often complain about the privacy settings on Facebook, they are too open, people say. It’s true that the default settings pretty much allow anyone [...]
I’m about to go on a rant. You might not like it, but tough, it has to be said.
How many people have seen a post like this on Facebook?
