I chose to explore Facebook. I've had it since you had to have a college email address to sign-up! I've had it for so long that I forget to check the security features as FB is continually changing. I'm was very surprised to see how many different components of a FB page have different privacy settings. Some I didn't even understand why someone would set their pages to private, but still maintain a page. I believe, following their recent security breach in the news, Facebook has really been working to improve it's settings, including privacy. I also found it interesting to see that I could create a "Custom" group within my account. So, let's say I have my grandma on my page and I don't want her to see certain posts I can customize that. It does take some time though! Or the feature that I found that I really like is approving a post that I'm tagged in before it's made public to my page! So if someone randomly tags me in a picture I don't want to be tagged in or shares something to my page I don't want to be connected to, I can approve or deny that tag. I honestly believe I could spend an entire day or two just having students explore their social media security/privacy settings!
