Facebook keeps you close to grandchildren, old friends, and community news — but out of the box, it shares more about you than most people realize. Facebook Privacy Settings That Matter walks you through the settings that actually matter, one by one, in plain language: who can see your posts, how strangers find you, tag review, and the one-click "Limit Past Posts" fix for years of old Public sharing.

You'll get a clear-eyed guide to friend requests from strangers (why they arrive, the simple rule for handling them, and how to spot a cloned profile of someone you know), plus the classic Messenger scams — the fake video link, the stranded friend, the gift-card demand — and what to do if your own account is ever hijacked.

Because Facebook redesigns its menus, the book leans on Facebook's own built-in Privacy Checkup tool alongside timeless principles. Thirty minutes now, ten minutes a few times a year, and you're done.
