I've seen the following post from at least two of my Facebook friends in the last couple of days (and who knows how many more I've missed when I've been off line).I think I understand the logic behind the request - basically the theory is that your comments and likes of your friends posts won't become public.However, I'm sceptical that this is a real thing and not something that gives us apparent control over what the world can see but in reality doesn't do anything.Hi, FB friends: I want to stay PRIVATELY connected with you. I post shots of my family that I don't want strangers to have access to!!!  However, with the recent changes in FB, the public can now see activities in ANY wall. This happens when our friend hits like or comment ~ automatically, their friends would see our posts too. Unfortunately, we can not change this setting by ourselves because Facebook has configured it this way.PLEASE place your mouse over my name above (DO NOT CLICK), a window will appear, now move the mouse on FRIENDS (also without clicking), then down to Settings, click here and a list will appear. REMOVE the CHECK on COMMENTS & LIKE and also PHOTOS. By doing this, my activity among my friends and family will no longer become public.Now, copy and paste this on your wall. Once I see this posted on your page I will do the same. ThanksSo - will this do what it purports to?
Will this method for apparently restricting what people can see on Facebook actually work?
