I think all the people that value privacy left Facebook a long time ago to be honest.
Think you can hide on Farcebook? Not any more.

Surely if you hide everything all they will see is your name? What's the problem anyway apart from some paranoid personality problems?
Don't flatter yourself.

Social media to me means being social to people I know, not to strangers I didn't invite, Lysander has a sort-of point.
Social media only has a bad name because companies keep exploiting the lack of control over privacy.
I thought I set everything on mine to private but people still look me up
You obviously don't know how to use Facebook and maybe it is a good idea that you stay away.

So why the hell are you on here?
Yep, never ceases to amaze me - people are worried about what the government watches and what Facebook does then they'll come on here and tell people exactly what TV they watch, what films, what music, what their political ideology is, their views on all sorts of things, etc. One trawl of this site and most peoples posts and you could get a complete profile and guess most of their future moves.
I always find it funny when people complain about being able to be found on sites such as Facebook, Twitter etc.
They're SOCIAL NETWORKING sites. Completely hiding your profile on these sites is the equivalent of going to a party and hiding under the coats in the cupboard under the stairs.

Anyone who values privacy shouldn't really plaster images of themselves over the internet on social networking sites, regardless of the settings, rules etc.
Then you probably shouldn't have signed up to Facebook. ****ing wallies.
Derp. The point is people couldn't until now. That's the point of the thread.
If you can't see the difference between an anonymous Online Forum and intrusive Social Media sites then I feel there's little hope of me being able to explain it to you in a simple enough way for you to understand.
Last time I looked I didn't see any photos of what I had for lunch or my latest gym status. Social media takes the personal touch away from keeping in contact with people you actually know - forums are a bunch of randomers. Forums aren't Facebook - I know you have a habit of telling people your life story on here but 99% of people don't.
Today I went out with mates for lunch and one mate wouldn't leave the table until he had taken a photo of his empty plate, messed about with Instagram settings to change its colour, upload it then check into FB... Seriously?

Social networking.... defeats the object been hidden.
