How Easy Is It For Stalkers To Search For These Pictures? The Internet Is Rife With Criticism Of Facebook's Graph Search

Using Graph Search, I requested to find "people who attend [name of local] junior high." The results: a list of 7th, 8th, and 9th graders at the local junior high. With this type of data, it would only take a few more minutes to determine where each child lived. A sexual predator could easily target kids in his neighborhood or town.

Facebook said in February 2013 that it had taken special measures to ensure that teenagers were not exposed to potentially dangerous strangers.

Image via csmonitor.com

Facebook blocks minors you aren’t friends with from showing up in Graph Search results. That means that all of these teenagers lied about their ages, and Facebook thinks they’re over 18. They also set their profile settings to “Public,” meaning that anyone with a Facebook account can look at their profile.

netnanny.com

Facebook’s contention that nothing will come up in a search that has not been shared publicly with the person searching may be technically true. And making it true may well be a monumental engineering problem that it is proud to have solved. But the fact is that most users do not realize all that they have shared, or have shared things in one context and never intended them to be shared in another.

A Simple Google Search Will Teach You How To Stalk Others On Facebook Using Special Apps

An app called 'FBStalker' has made it easier than ever to dig into your personal data is Graph Search. Though fun and incredibly revealing (for better or worse), we haven’t totally understood the potential and magnitude of this tool – until now. It can find out what your weaknesses are and how to exploit them, all using Graph Search as well as information culled from your friends.

While Some Teens May Have Set Their Selfies To 'Public', Many Parents And Children Are Still In The Dark When It Comes To Privacy Settings

According to a study conducted by British online discounts website MyVoucherCodes on 1345 parents, 48% of these parents have absolutely no idea what their child or children are up to online.

You can also restrict who can send a friend request and who can send messages. Users can go into privacy settings and make it so they can’t receive a friend request from a person unless they have a mutual friend. They can also tighten up the settings on their inbox so only messages from friends make it to the inbox, while others are kept in the “other” box.

Image via insidefacebook.com

The first major change can come with changing future posts away from public to friends or friends of friends (or a custom audience group curated by yourself). To do this, go into your privacy settings and edit the “Who can see your future posts?” area.

Image via insidefacebook.com

Managing director of MyVoucherCodes Mark Person, "Access does need to be limited because over exposure can be bad for their health. Also, it is vital that children are monitored and privacy settings are kept in check to ensure no personal information is accessible to strangers."

Schmidt said the changes will be implemented in more than 150 languages, although he did not say when that would happen.
