Limitations On Facebook

Face book has given users more control over who gets to see video, virtual cards and other digital content shared using third-party programs at the leading social networking website. Drop-down menus near lock icons in a Publisher tool on profile pages let people select sharing options ranging from “every one” to “only friends” and “custom”. These new controls give you the power to determine who sees the content you post to Facebook through any third-party application. Facebook’s more than 400 million members are required to dictate settings with a software tool that lets them specify who gets to be privy to each photo, video, update or other piece of content uploaded to the website.
The tool lets Facebook members determine accessibility to posted content, such as status updates or pictures in categories designated “Friends”, “Friends of Friends,” “Every one” and “Customized.” Facebook members can select privacy settings for each post by using lock icons next to “share” buttons on profile pages.
