Lockdown Facebook Profile to Protect Privacy and Security

Jason Perlow is a technologist with over two decades of experience integrating large heterogeneous multi-vendor computing environments in Fortune 500 companies decided after all of FaceBook’s continual invasions on his personal privacy by sharing data to people and services which he don’t want — and by being completely irresponsible and untrustworthy in terms of computer security — that it was time to lock down his profile and minimize his exposure, while still allowing select people to interact with him on his user Profile.

With FaceBook, this is a very difficult thing to be able to balance, and he still not 100 percent sure that he wouldn't be served by destroying his profile and leaving the service altogether, but I believe that for the time being, I’ve been able to create some sort of “miserable medium” that he can tolerate. This is the advice about Facebook Profile Security from Mr. Jason Perlow.

FaceBook is an extremely complicated and confusing online service to use, with lots of settings that are needed to secure a profile and prevent undesired dissemination of information. Because I no longer trust the service whatsoever, I’ve created a “How-To” for the advanced user for locking down their profile and minimizing their risk

Keep in mind that this Lockdown I created is an extremely draconian method — nobody will be able to share your information or your statuses, you will not have any personally identifying information unless you absolutely chose to, and only the most essential applications will be authorized.

The user for which I have in mind is someone who is extremely concerned about their personal privacy and security, but also may wish to have people contact them via a brand or a business or some other following they maintain - Jason perlow

He also wrote about Twitter.Com, another micro blog service. His full writing can be found here and don't forget to post your comments. I wish to know what you think about he privacy & security of social networking sites.
