Who Sees Your Facebook

Who Sees Your Facebook: Back in March 2010, I wrote an article called Beware of "That Viewed My Profile" Application on Facebook. It's still one of my top five saw messages, with greater than 4,400 page sights in the past month alone. So it's undoubtedly a topic of excellent rate of interest to individuals.

Who Sees Your Facebook


Exactly what's weird is that although the write-up plainly mentions that there are no applications available that let you see that viewed your account, a number of its visitors still upload comments asking who could see their profile. And hardly ever does a week pass that I do not also receive that inquiry on the T4L Facebook page as well as through e-mail.

Perhaps individuals believe something has actually altered in the last three years. So let me be clear: There is No Chance for you to discover that has actually seen your profile on Facebook. Right here is Facebook's response to this question in their Assistance Center.



Every once in a while I also obtain a comment from someone that they have evidence that Facebook does provide this capability due to the fact that they looked at somebody's account and afterwards got a message or pal request from that person. I never see the certain proof they're referring to, so I can't discuss exactly what they believe they're seeing. I think it's feasible that if you consider someone's profile a whole lot, your name will show up a whole lot more in places like the ticker or mutual friends' listings, however that's an unlike revealing someone precisely that has actually been considering their account, when and also just how frequently.

Now, I'm the initial individual to be negative concerning any kind of case Facebook makes about respecting their individuals' personal privacy (check out my current collection on Facebook as well as Personal Privacy). Yet I truly believe Facebook in this situation as well as think they will never ever permit this capability-- since it wouldn't remain in their benefit to do so.

I think there are lots of individuals who use Facebook primarily to look at profiles and pictures of other individuals, especially those they want or have broken up with or that are currently seeing people they have actually broken up with. Now, if Facebook were to begin allowing people to see who had looked into their profiles, a great deal of individuals may quite possibly remove their accounts and also quit utilizing FB entirely since they don't intend to be captured stalking. And because there appears to be some evidence that Facebook is already starting to shed individuals, especially amongst the younger set, they're not mosting likely to do something that will drive even more people away when that attribute has no specific worth to the company itself.

So in addition to re-confirming that you could not see who viewed your account, please consider this article an additional cautioning never ever to click any web link that claims it will certainly help you do just that. If you do, you're opening the door to having your account hacked as well as for that reason facing real threats to your personal privacy.
