Protecting Your Facebook Groups



Facebook has changed its formal Privacy Policy among other things, to say that "pages you are a fan of... and networks" are now public information. By default the pages and networks that you belong to, can now be seen by anyone. This could allow someone to find information about you without being in your friends list. You may not want just anyone to view this information.

You can change this by going to the top of the page and clicking "Settings", and then scroll to "Application Settings". In the following window, click "Edit Settings" next to the "Groups" category. You may then choose whom you would like to allow access to this information. If you do not wish for anyone else to have access to this information, set to "Only Me".

If you want, you can "Customize" your Edit Group Settings to allow only certain friends or networks to view the groups in which you belong. Using this feature allows you to include or exclude individual friends or groups. Clicking "Additional Permissions" allows you to keep your groups and pages from publishing to your wall stream and allows you to set for which group changes you get an email from Facebook.
