How to Set Your Facebook Privacy Settings

Facebook, since its mistakes with the Beacon advertising incident, has rolled out one of the most robust security systems for any social network, which allows users to control who sees what information about them with great specificity. Take a look at Facebook's privacy features and how to set yours.

Who Sees Your Profile The "Basic" profile drop-down menu has four categories: My Networks and Friends, Friends of Friends, Only Friends, and Customize. A Network in Facebook is a group of people with a common interest (a city, university or workplace).
