Facebook Privacy

Have you ever tried Youropenbook.org? The site serves as a search engine for Facebook posts. Try searching for "I hate my boss" and you'll see a long string of people that openly degrade their boss and company while thinking what they are typing is somehow private. 

The problem originates with Facebook's attempt to complicate the privacy settings because the information is too valuable for advertisers. To help with this problem, I'm sharing a wonderful document that will show you how to avoid showing up on places like Youropenbook.org along with Google searches. In the end you should realize everything you post to the Internet should be considered public, so don't say anything that could get you in trouble.
