Unless you specify on specific posts that you want them to remain private (i.e. your network, friends) Facebook will make your content available to EVERYONE on the INTERNET - this is an attempt to make your content as PUBLIC as possible…in competition with public sites like Twitter — BUT…Twitter only publicizes tweets (maximum of 140 characteres) - while Facebook makes your profile public…providing the public at large with a unique insight on your private life.

This is great for socialites, and people that really don’t mind their Facebook profiles out in the wild (’world wide web’) - but it’s bad for people that use Facebook as a private space on the web to interact, communicate, and share media with family and friends.

Let me know if you need help setting your privacy settings.
