Facebook Precautions Real Names Does NOT Mean Friendly People Facebooks real name policy means that most of the people you see are actually using their real name. It lulls people into a false sense of security, which can lead to trouble. This helps scams like the Western Union transfer scam and work at home scams take hold, because it starts with a local group and a friendly looking face with a real profile. The same goes for most 74. Facebook Precautions Careless Words Can Cost You So, youre grumpy at your bosss decision and you lashed out in a Facebook update? You could lose your job. Or maybe you griped about a piece of software you use for your job, could that be considered sharing company secrets? If so, you might lose your job and be up for a lawsuit. A bad attitude, inappropriate photos or poor grammar could also make you look like a bad decision in the eyes of an employer. 75. Facebook Precautions Data Costs Can Add Up When youre using Wi-Fi at home, its no big deal for most people. You look at Facebook on your phone and upload photos and theres nothing to worry about. Once you start using 3G or 4G data plans, you are usually facing a lower data cap and could face a large bill by using too much data. If you go overseas it gets exponentially worse, with roaming data costs set at exorbitant amounts for most carriers worldwide. 76. Facebook Precautions You cannot keep a photo private Editing the privacy settings for your Facebook photos can help us minimize our exposure on the internet but we must not forget that, although our albums are configured so that a small group of friends can see them, anyone can copy the URL of your image and share it with anyone. Do No Upload Photos in High Resolution. Images in high resolution are much more likely to be used for commercial purposes. 77. Early Memory 78. Early Memory 79. Orlando in the 60s 80.
