I heard some information from a fellow writer, Cynthia Clampitt that I thought I would pass along for Freelance-Zone readers…

She said that FB is allowing third party advertisers to use photos that you post on the social networking site. I didn’t research this to see if it was true because you should really be protecting your privacy anyway. Do you know what your privacy settings are on FB? Can everyone see what you post? Careful…I’ve warned before about how this can work against you as a freelance writer. If you don’t want to mix your professional and personal life, take the following steps to protect your photos from other people using them without your permission:

• Go to settings
• Go to privacy
• Go to newsfeeds & wall
• Got to Facebook ads
• Select no one
• Save

Many thanks to Cynthia for bringing this to light!
