It is my understanding that information is made available to friends, friends friends and so on, so that I may end up with information I dont ever want. I can control who I see and who I speak with in the real world. In cyberspace, I cant control who posts what, when, where and how if I was opened to it as a friend.
Well, you can control whom you want your information going to. If you want your information to be restricted to your friends, you have that option.
As for information going in the other direction (i.e. to you), the same applies in real life. You’ve never met your friends’ friends? You’ve never had a friend tell you about something a friend/relative of theirs did or said? You’ve never met someone someplace and discovered that you might have a friend in common with them? Again, I fail to see how real life is different than FB in this regard.
In any event, with FB, I never see other people’s posts in my feed. The only people I see are the people with whom I am friends. You may have the option to expand that if you wish (I don’t know) but that would be up to the individual user.
