Facebook Question


Question Posted Saturday June 6 2009, 5:00 am

Hey, Facebook confuses me sometimes. This may sound like a dumb question, but it seems like an awful lot of stuff on facebook is still public, even if you have your profile set to private. Like it still shows "so and so commented on Jane Doe's picture" and then you see their picture even though they're not your friend just because one of your friends commented on it. My question is...

If you send somebody a message (not a wall post), is there any way somebody else could see it, or is it totally private, and just you and the person receiving the message can see it? I would think it would be private, but sometimes Facebook is creepy like that. Please help! Thanks to everyone who responds :)

It's private in the sense that it won't be posted on anyone's newfeed. But that person can still log on and show other people, or save any pictures/links you send to their computer. And even if you delete the message, their copy remains.

If you send a private message to someone, as in, under their profile pic it says "Send *Banana* a message" then it's completely private, and only they will see it. Unless of course they show it to other people.
