Say what privacy settings control
Choose who sees a post before it goes up.
Privacy settings decide who is shown what you post: everyone, your friends, or only you.
They cannot stop somebody who can already see a post from passing it on.
Key points
- Privacy settings decide who is shown what you post
- They do not control what a reader does with it next
What to remember
- The audience sits on the post itself.
- They choose the audience, not what the audience does.
Try this
Start a post on your own account and find the audience word under your name.
