JAKARTA - Your Facebook account is tagged (tagging) by an unknown person in an upload. Be careful, it could be a dangerous trap because it contains hacking or phishing attempts.

If clicked on the link, it will take you to a porn site or malware that can harm your Facebook account. So how do you avoid bulk tagging?

Social media observer Ismail Fahmi provides a number of tips so that accounts are not subject to pornographic link tags. One way to do this is by changing the tagging settings on each Facebook account.

For more details, you can enter the settings section, scroll down to see there is a Profile and Tagging section or "Profile and Tagging." There's a setting there: Review posts that tag you before they appear on your profile.

Ismail suggests limiting the allowed account notifications to mark as "friends only" or "Only get notifications about tags from friends." With this method, unknown accounts that are not from network of friends will not be able to do tagging.

"So if someone who is not a friend marks us, it will not appear on the notification, but if a friend gets tagged by malware we can (appear). Now we can see if the friend continues like that, we can temporarily unfriend it," he said.

Another option is to activate the reviewing feature. In this way, the user will receive a notification to review an upload in order to get permission before it is published.

To do this, enter your account profile, then click the three-line image at the bottom (iphone) or top (android). Then, click on profile settings (the usual profile picture is shown) and click on 'profile and tagging' in the privacy section. Finally click 'who can see what other post on your profile'
