Social Media Privacy: How I can see your Facebook posts even if we aren’t connected

Unless you’re part of my family, a close friend of mine, a classmate, old boyfriend or someone I’m

stalking, I’m pretty sure that we aren’t connected on Facebook. Yet. But if you email me it’s quite

possible (and scary) that I can see that you’re leaving for a 7-day cruise vacation (Bon voyage!), or

that you were at the lake last weekend (Nice abs), or that you feel strongly – very strongly – about

the upcoming political race (Yikes! Did you really write that?). I can see this personal information

because I’m using a tool in Outlook that collects relevant information about you and presents it to

me in a very convenient way. Don’t shoot the messenger. And don’t blame it on Outlook. What gets

displayed about you in the People Pane is a result of six things. Attend this eye-opening session to:

Outlook
