They’ll conduct the most personal phone conversations at maximum volume, on the subway. Or they’ll ____ perfect strangers with the excruciating details of their latest medical procedures. Most of us, though, have a better idea of how to ____ privacy for ourselves and our friends. Unfortunately, your privacy isn't a priority for social media companies. After all, they make money by selling ads, and by selling information about their members. Proper privacy can ____ with a social media company's ability to ____ the time you spend on their site. You need to put yourself in charge of your social media privacy. You want the Goldilocks settings—private enough to keep out the hoi polloi but not so private that you can’t share with friends. Just how you achieve that balance depends on which platform you’re using. Even on the same platform, the ____ of privacy settings can change. What you need to do is walk through the options offered by the platform and use some common sense. Even when you’re confident you’ve got the perfect balance of sharing and privacy, don’t ____. Make a quick pass through the settings now and then, in case the provider has made an unexpected change. When an apparent stranger asks to friend you, do your ____. Click to view the person’s profile and see how many friends you have in common. Chances are doing so will reveal whether you have an actual connection to the person. If the wannabe friend has filled in profile data like hometown, jobs, and schooling, these items may also serve to ____. Even when the request comes from someone you do know, it doesn’t hurt to double-check the profile for ____. It’s easy enough to scrape someone’s picture from the web and fake up a profile. Make a quick sanity check, looking for friends in common, recent posts, and anything else to verify that this really is someone you know. If you’re getting something for free, you yourself are the product. Or so the saying goes. Social media sites hold ____ quantities of information about you, your likes, your connections, and your very life. Just what do they know about you? In many cases, you can find out. The Friends list may be a bit ____, as it includes every friend request you’ve accepted, rejected, or ignored, as well as those you’ve unfriended and those you follow without being a friend. The data dump also includes every post you’ve ever made, though without any included images.
