Check Out Five Important Tips To Protect Online Privacy On Meta Platform

JAKARTA - Facebook and Instagram are places for many people to connect with family, friends, and communities from all over the world.

This platform is a place where you can find and explore new things, find information about topics that match passions, connect with communities or businesses, to places to exchange messages with friends and family. However, protecting personal information and giving control of your data is also one of Meta's top priorities.

"We will continue to remind users of the importance of maintaining security while doing activities in the online realm, as well as the availability of tools that can help them control what content they want to share and see," said Rafael Frankel, Director of Public Policy, Meta.

Here are five easy steps to keep your privacy protected during activities across the Meta application:

Conduct Privacy Checks regularly

Conduct Privacy Checks regularly and update security and privacy arrangements in order to avoid bullying and harassment, or view inappropriate ads and content.

Enable two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication is a security feature that helps protect Facebook or Instagram accounts and passwords. With two-factor authentication, you will be asked to enter a dedicated login code or confirm your login attempts every time you try to access Facebook or Instagram from an unrecognized browser or mobile device. You will also receive a warning when someone tries to log in from an unknown browser or mobile device.

Control the content that can be seen

You can set who can view your posts both in the future and those that have been previously posted. You can also manage a list of people blocked on the platform, such as adding new people to the block list you have.

Protect messages and personal information

End-to-end encryption on Instagram and Messenger adds extra security to the messages and calls you make with others, ensuring that only you and the recipient of the message or your interlocutor can access the content.

Set ad preferences

You can review ad preferences, block unwanted content, and control what you want to see on the feed.
