Q101 The Alternative

The bottom line: If you have something to hide, DON’T PUT IT ON FACEBOOK. Do not chat inappropriately. Do not post secrets. Do not THIS. Do not THAT. You never know if somehow your deepest secrets will “accidentally” become fodder for the masses to enjoy.
The social network has offered a growing array of options and settings to control privacy, particularly for what shows up on your own page, which Facebook now calls your ‘Timeline’.
But one thing you can’t control as well is what your friends post about you. Your best bet? Only post what you WANT people to think you are, not who you REALLY are. Sugarcoat it. Lie. Force the rated “G”. That way, when you run for Congress “they” will have nothing to get you on.
But have you totally protected yourself? Probably not. Maintaining your reputation and credibility as an upstanding citizen (if it matters to you) is not as easy as you might think. The Wall Street Journal has identified three loopholes you may not have thought of where leaks of your dark side could surface without your knowledge. Be educated. As for past transgressions, all you can do is hope and pray that your secrets remain, well, secret. Forevermore.

Go ahead. Check it. Check your email listing on your Facebook page. See? Without asking for permission, Facebook has changed users’ listed email address to one ending in “@facebook.com.”
The changed was discovered Saturday, and has resulted in either users having their @facebook.com address being listed or simply having all of their other addresses be hidden. It happened to me as well.
While users can opt out of having their @facebook.com address listed, the troubling part of the change is how Facebook went about implementing it. The social network didn’t as much as announce the change was coming or alert users once it happened.
To change back your email address, go to your profile, click “Update info,” scroll down to “Contact Info” and click “Edit.” Select with whom you want to share each individual email address and to the right of that choose whether you want your email displayed on your timeline or not.
