I received a daily email form Hows-to-Geek, lots of good info. Yesterday was how to turn turn off and quit Facebook. I am not exactly ready
to go that route. Today was a much more interesting article, "How to Stop Facebook Giving Your Data to Third Parties" The first paragraph reads:
"The Cambridge Analytica fiasco wasn’t really a data breach. Everything collected was allowed by Facebook’s Terms of Service. So, how can you protect yourself against these sort of things? "
First, if you joined a site where you could use your Facebook login to sign on, then it's logged into your Facebook account they get access. Yea!
How to fix that: Open Facebook account, look for little down arrow on right end of the Blue Bar. Click on it, and pick Settings. You will immediately
see all the places and companies that have access to your account. First though: Below all the company icons, is a box labled: "apps,websites & plugins"
click the edit button, and disable apps, websites, & plugins. That is the end of that, after that, just in case, you can turn off all the apps above on that
page, or just some, or you can leave apps, websites, & plugins running, but strike out all the apps individually you do not want using your facebook
account info, or login.
How-To-Geek.com lots of interesting info, and computer news.
