facebook will automatically index all your info on google

Facebook will automatically index all your info on google. If you’ve logged into Facebook recently, you’ve likely been notified of Facebook’s new privacy changes. One of the new challenges facing Facebook is the site’s plan indexing information on Google and other search engines. What does Facebook indexing mean to you? It could mean that your personal information on the site could appear on search engines such as Google and Bing.

There is no doubt that people have become more and more open to the Internet. They are sharing their personal interests and communicating with their friends in an open platform. Facebook have certainly been the catalyst in this cultural change. May be we are seeing the different sides of humanity. May be what we pre-assumed to be a ‘privacy threat’ is not really the matter of concern to the development of personal creativity. Google and Facebook have created a platform that have helped people to express and be confident about themselves and in way have helped them to be more creative.

So what can you do to stop Facebook from indexing? Here are some brief instructions:

If you don’t want search engines like Google and Bing to index your profile, do yourself a favor and make sure those settings are still set the way you want them to be. To adjust your search privacy settings click on Settings>Privacy Settings>Search. If the “Allow indexing” box is checked then search engines will be able to index your information.
