If you think your Facebook profile is private, it probably isn't.
Go to "Privacy settings", and then under "Sharing on Facebook" click on "Friends only", then click on "customize settings" and then set those settings to "Friends only". THEN go back to "Privacy settings" and under "Connecting on Facebook" click on "View Settings" and then set everything to "Friends Only".

Pass this to everyone you know to make sure that their Facebook page is totally private.

1. Better yet, don't post anything you don't want people to know.

2. Exactly.
Don't post ANYTHING there you wouldn't really care if it was read out loud at a job interview.

3. I checked mine out....

By logging in under an alias account and tried searching for my real name-it doesn't come up at all. This was in addition to having the strictest settings.

Though, another thing I just thought of, is that maybe the next step for creepy marketers
and authoritarian fuckface employers is to pay facebook(perhaps under the table) to give up info
on those with even the strictest settings. I am pretty sure it has already happened with marketers.
