With all the fuss about Facebook privacy issues, this site is timely.
The website provides an independent and open tool for scanning your Facebook privacy settings. They just added Photo Album privacy scanning.
It is easy to install and use.
1. Drag grey button to browser bookmarks bar
2. Go to your Facebook privacy settings and then click that bookmark.
3. You will see a series of privacy scans that inspect your privacy settings
Of course, it is also possible to follow ReclaimPrivacy.org on Facebook.
They say that their mission is to promote privacy awareness on Facebook and elsewhere.
Also, they warn that you should never use this scanner on a secure website like your bank or any other financial institution. “Keep in mind that those websites often have far more sensitive information than Facebook.”
Of course, the announcements today may mean that Facebook’s security settings are going to be more reasonable and this type of product will not be needed, but give it a try.
