58. How to opt out of social ads
Facebook can use your “Likes” as a way to advertise for brands.
If I “like” the Applebee’s Facebook Page, then Facebook would be able
to show my profile photo and a tagline that says something along the
lines of “Your friend Amit likes Applebee’s, check out the Applebee’s
Facebook Page to learn about our newest lunch combo.”
To block Facebook from doing this, go to the “Ads” section of your
“Account Settings.” Go to the section that says “Ads and Friends,” hit
edit and then select “No One” where it says “Pair my social actions with
ads for.”

73. Facebook Precautions
Real Names Does NOT Mean Friendly
People
Facebook’s real name policy means that
most of the people you see are actually
using their real name. It lulls people into a
false sense of security, which can lead to
trouble.
This helps scams like the Western Union transfer scam and work at
home scams take hold, because it starts with a local group and a
friendly looking face with a real profile. The same goes for most

74. Facebook Precautions
Careless Words Can Cost You
So, you’re grumpy at your boss’s decision and you
lashed out in a Facebook update? You could lose
your job.
Or maybe you griped about a piece of software you
use for your job, could that be considered sharing
company secrets? If so, you might lose your job
and be up for a lawsuit.
A bad attitude, inappropriate photos or poor
grammar could also make you look like a bad
decision in the eyes of an employer.

75. Facebook Precautions
Data Costs Can Add Up
When you’re using Wi-Fi at home, it’s no big deal for most
people. You look at Facebook on your phone and upload
photos and there’s nothing to worry about.
Once you start using 3G or 4G data plans, you are usually
facing a lower data cap and could face a large bill by using
too much data.
If you go overseas it gets exponentially worse, with roaming
data costs set at exorbitant amounts for most carriers
worldwide.

76. Facebook Precautions
You cannot keep a photo private
Editing the privacy settings for your Facebook photos
can help us minimize our exposure on the internet
but we must not forget that, although our albums are
configured so that a small group of friends can see
them, anyone can copy the URL of your image and
share it with anyone.
Do No Upload Photos in High Resolution.
Images in high resolution are much more likely to be
used for commercial purposes.
