Facebook newbies: More privacy protection with new presets

Facebook has changed the settings for new members in the area of ​​privacy. Posts from new Facebook users are now only visible to friends. So far, all members of the social network could see the contributions of new members.


Prior to this change, users had to specifically modify the privacy settings to share content with friends only. This setting is especially useful for younger users because they may not be familiar with the impact of public contributions.

Facebook has announced that, in addition to the above change, a tool for existing members to be introduced. The "privacy tool" consists of pop-ups, which are equipped with a dinosaur. Before posting a public contribution, the Dino asks the users if this content should be shared with the public or with friends.


Users also have the option to log in to anonymous apps anonymously. If this function keeps what it promises, then that would be a higher protection of privacy. Through this anonymous registration, the user decides, when registering with an external application (Spotify or Flipboard), which information from the Facebook profile of the third-party provider and which does not.
