Default facebook privacy

Hi guys

Is there a setting in facebook privacy where you can set it up so that wall posts/facebook page posts are only seen by the owner of the wall/subscribers to a page?

I am sick of people seeing all my posts in their news feeds. I have subscribed to some rather geeky pages. Im not keen on the idea of everyone in my friends list reading my posts.

Go to Account, Privacy Settings.

The menu has been changed, again. I think you'll want to look near Limit the Audience for Past Posts

Hope this helps.

Sadly the only way to make sure your privacy is not infringed is to not have a facebook account.

In the end the minute you put that stuff on the internet it is there to stay.

This!

Put something on Facebook, it'll go public sooner or later, whether you want it to or not.
Zuckerberg's Privacy Stance: Facebook CEO 'Doesn't Believe In Privacy'
"Facebook has come under fire from privacy advocates, users, and now even US senators for what many believe is the site's lack of concern for protecting user privacy.

So how much does Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg care about your privacy on his social network?

Not much at all,
according to a Facebook employee interviewed by the New York Times' Nick Bilton."

Mentlegen, he didn't ask about FB's Privacy pros and cons, lets not turn this into a bash FB thread. I don't like FB either but that's for another thread.
