Social Media have given us the opportunity to share things we love with our friends, connect with people wherever they are in the world, follow our favourite brands, get informed, participate in communities, and so many other great possibilities! On the other hand, there are concerns about safety and privacy on social networks. The truth is that all things have pros and cons. It is up to us to use them wisely. So, here's a few tips on how to control your security and privacy on Facebook.
