Changes to post privacy settings for users under 18 Facebook. From now on, 13-18 year old Facebookers will be covered by the “Friends” level privacy policy by default in the sharing option after signing up for the first time. So, if you are a teenager and open an account on Facebook, then your status, photos, videos, etc. by post by default will be visible only to your Facebook friends.

The default privacy level will be “friends”, adding ‘public’ sharing option

In addition, as a result of the new privacy policy, people under the age of 18 can now share their posts ‘publicly’ or ‘with everyone on Facebook’. Previously, the default and highest sharing level for “under eighteen (-18) or underage” Facebook users was up to “Friends of Friends”. That is, teenagers’ Facebook posts would not be publicly visible, largely limited to ‘friends of friends’.

October 16 Announced In this new privacy policy Facebook Authorities also said they were aware of the safety of children and that users would be reminded of its extent when any post was shared publicly.

The decision is aimed at improving the Facebook experience of teenagers, said the world’s largest Social networking Company.
