How can they control what their friends share with them? If they are tagged in a post (such as a photo or status update), that post will contain a link to their profile (timeline). If someone clicks on the link they will see their public information and anything else they let them see unless your child is registered as under-18, in which case any friends or friends of friends can see the information. If your child has registered on Facebook as being under-18, friends and friends of friends can tag your child in anything. If your child doesn’t want to be tagged, Facebook encourages them to ask their friends not to tag them. If that does not work, they can block them. Tag review Facebook offers a review feature that lets your son or daughter approve or reject posts, that they have been tagged in, before they go on to their profile (timeline). When they turn it on, posts may already be visible in other places on Facebook, but they won’t appear on their profile (timeline) until they approve them. Removing or reporting tags If your child doesn’t like a tag that someone adds, they can choose to: 1 remove it from their profile (timeline); or 2 remove the tag or report the post by (a) sending a message asking the person who posted it to remove it, (b) reporting it to Facebook or (c) blocking the owner of the post.

Setting parental controls and privacy settings on Facebook®

How sharing works on Facebook

1 Tag who they’re with

Your child can click this button to add tags of their friends or friends of friends. Adding a tag instantly creates a link to the person’s profile (timeline) and may share their post with their friends.

2 Say where they are

Your son or daughter can share what city or neighborhood they’re in with every post they make, or share a particular place, like a park or cafe. If they have registered on Facebook as being under-18, they can share their location with a maximum of ‘friends of their friends’.

3 Manage privacy right where they post

They can choose who sees their status updates, photos and profile (timeline) info using the inline audience selector – at the time they share or afterwards.

Helping your child stay safe on Facebook, or any other social network, requires a slightly different approach from other types of site. Rather than setting parental controls, you need to look at privacy settings.

These control who can see information and how your child can manage the different kinds of interaction within their network of friends, friends of friends and the public. If your child has a Facebook profile (timeline) they have control of their own privacy settings, so you may want to talk these through together.

Facebook automatically places some restrictions on profiles for children registered as being under 18.

This means they can only share posts with their friends or ‘friends of their friends’. Remember that the age limit for registering on Facebook is 13.

How can they control what appears on their profile (timeline)?Whenever your child adds or changes things in their profile, they can select a specific audience or even customise their audience.

To do this, they simply need to click on the sharing icon and choose who can see it (Public, Friends, only Me or custom).

When they select an audience for their friend list, they are also controlling who can see it on their profile (timeline).

When someone tags your child in a post, they can choose whether they want that post to appear on their profile (timeline). They can either approve the post individually or approve all posts by their friends.

How can they control each post?Whenever your child posts content (like a status update, photo or check-in), they can select a specific audience or even customise their audience.

If your child does not change their audience selection, their information will be shared with the last audience they selected.

If your son or daughter tags someone on Facebook (e.g. assigns a name to someone in a post or photo) and thereby links the photo or post to the person’s Facebook profile (timeline), or approves a tag added by someone else to a photo they’ve posted, the person tagged and their friends can see your child’s post no matter what audience they selected.
