It is said that one out of every five people on Earth has active Facebook account.<\/p>\n<p>More than one-half of those users log in to the site every day, as Facebook said it currently has 890 million daily users. Among those daily users, 745 million, or 83.7 percent, check the site every day via their mobile devices. Navigate through the labyrinth of Facebook privacy settings, and you get the impression they don\u2019t want to make it easy for you. Check out the infographic below titled <strong>\u201cHow to Stay Safe on Facebook\u201d<\/strong> on how you can keep your data safe.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d think such a popular program would be well-loved, but it still has quite some problem, from its apparent lack of respect for individual privacy. The dangers are spam messages, identity theft, stalkers, profiling and data harvesting. Facebook, just like any other \u201cfree\u201d service,\u00a0<em>does\u00a0<\/em>have a cost, just not in dollars. In order to use their service, you allow them to use your private data.<\/p>\n<p>But though we may all want to swear off Facebook forever, it does have its uses. Most of your friends and family are probably all on it. Facebook makes it so easy to see what they\u2019re up to and keep in touch, even from hundreds of thousands of miles away. If you hadn\u2019t \u201cfriended\u201d them on Facebook, you might\u2019ve never found out about your cousin\u2019s new job or your high school buddy\u2019s new baby. For many of us, the pros outweigh the cons. We\u2019re willing to give up a bit of personal data in exchange for making our lives a bit more convenient.<\/p>\n<p>But is there a compromise? Can you keep in touch with friends and family without Facebook and the world knowing every detail of your life? Just check the know bouts in the infographic and practice the same.<\/p>\n<p>Infographic Source:- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoishostingthis.com\/blog\/2014\/11\/25\/safe-on-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">www.whoishostingthis.com<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31404\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31404\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsilike.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/How-to-Stay-Safe-on-Facebook.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31404\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newsilike.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/How-to-Stay-Safe-on-Facebook.jpg\" alt=\"How to Stay Safe on Facebook\" width=\"720\" height=\"6655\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31404\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to Stay Safe on Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook Inc. announced this week that its user base has grown to\u00a01.39 billion\u00a0active monthly users, defined as people who use the social network at least once a month.
