Facebook Privacy Audit: What info do you make visible to 3rd party apps, websites and plugins
Sup peeps! Let's take a look at your ability to protect your privacy on the Facebook platform. Today, let's specifically pay attention to the information that 3rd party apps and websites can see in your account.
Start by going to your Facebook Settings > Apps
Then "edit" the settings for "Apps, Websites and Plugins"
You can disable ALL Apps, Websites and Plugins from accessing your account. That means you will not be able to log in anywhere using your FB account.
Let's go back to Settings > Ads and review those.
Let's start with "Your Information"
I chose to not offer any of this information. I wanna keep my privacy here.
Now let's check on your "Ad Settings"
I decided to give permission for ads to use my browser and cache history. I figured that I'm gonna see ads either way so why not make them as relatable and personalized as possible. At least they'll be more interesting that way.
Stay safe out there, Steemy friends. You are being datamined. They more they know about you, the better influence they could have over you.
In Liberty,
Ashe

We plan to introduce version 2 of the report very soon which will include more info on what tags and topics of content you should use to get more followers and earn more rewards. You will NOT want to miss this update.
Thanks for the reminder. I only login few times a year. Most of the times I login I find that things have been made to look different with more and more vanity stuff to keep our attention. FB is even going after SNAP (I think, I haven't wasted my time on Snapchat)
Still it's better to disable those stuff.
ur welcome. FB is in the light right now. Hopefully that pushes more ppl to blockchain social media, but we'll see.
I'm curious to see what @dan would end up doing on steemit.
Oh thats also great for facebook user you introduce a new thing on it Thanks for paying attention to wards this keep it up Also a great work and way to share new thinks keep it up
Really can we see which apps are linked with our account....but anyways i dont use fb anymore that is full of shit...
yeah, you can see all the apps, websites and plugins that are connected to and using your FB information here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications
Thanks for helping....
Do you use fb anymore....after i have been on steemit i have almost forgot every other social media .....
really interesting and explanatory your post.
It helped me a lot, since I did not know about this.
I hope to visualize more of the content of your blog.
The privacy issue has made the facebook hit the bottom of the sea... To rise up again it needs to do a lot of reshuffling otherwise theres no option with so many platforms available.
Thanks Ashe-ore for this lovely post, Now we can use this function accordingly as we want to use it, Never have known this function on Fb. You are so kind :)
Always loved your post :)
This is true, facebook has been using user datas for personal profits. They have been able to manipulate the information that gets to someone and when the information gets there too
thanks. so far i do not pay attention to this, after reading your post, now i become know. I think this needs to be done for the security needs of the account.
