If you haven’t experienced this, you may have noticed at least a few of your Facebook friends have had their accounts hacked. Usually, a compromised account is obvious: suddenly, a Facebook friend is posting nonstop adware or suspicious links, or you’re receiving messages from acquaintances that tell you to check out a new product. That’s why it’s important to activate two-factor authentication for your account, in addition to other safety features that Facebook offers.

To make your Web browsing experience ever safer, however, activate dfndr security’s anti-hacking feature. This feature will block malicious websites so that you never have to worry about a phishing-attempt or entering your personal information on an unsafe website.

Reporting Posts on Facebook
In addition to worrying about your Facebook account being hacked, you also have to worry about inappropriate content on the site. Luckily, Facebook has a feature that allows you to easily and quickly report inappropriate content, such as pornography or abusive speech. But what happens after you report a post?

After a Facebook post is reported as inappropriate, it is then sent to Facebook for evaluation. If the post doesn’t abide by Facebook’s Community Standards, then the post will be removed. Facebook has restrictions on nudity, hate speech, and violent and graphic content; they also strive to protect intellectual property rights. You can view a complete list of the Facebook Community Standards on their website.

Whenever you report a post, your report will remain anonymous, even if Facebook contacts the person responsible for the inappropriate content. However, just because you report a post to Facebook, doesn’t mean that the post will be removed. If you didn’t like a particular post, that is not enough of a reason for the post to be removed. Further, the number of times that a post is reported doesn’t influence the decision to remove it.

That said, if a friend of yours posts something that you personally find offensive, such as a photo or a status that doesn’t violate the Facebook Community Standards, then you can send them a private message requesting that they remove the offensive post. You can also choose to block that person.

If you’re curious about the status of your report, you can receive an update from Facebook’s Support Inbox. From here you can learn more about Facebook’s policies, find out whether or not they made a decision on your report, and cancel the report if desired.

<![CDATA[How Often Should You Post on Social Media?]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/often-post-social-media/ Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:03:26 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=2190 We’ve covered how often you should post if you’re operating the social media for your brand, but there’s also much that can be said regarding how often you should be posting from your personal account. Since social media habits are a reflection of your unique personality, this is more subjective. However, there are still some general guidelines you can follow to make sure you don’t garner a negative reputation amongst your followers.

Facebook
The same rules that you’d follow when running a business/brand account apply here as well, although there are fewer requirements. Posting one to three times a day is a surefire way to maintain a balance between being engaging and being annoying. As long as you put up some photos and avoid getting too deep or personal on a daily basis, you can post what’d you’d like to. Just don’t post song lyrics — it’s not 2007 anymore!

Instagram
There are many ways to build a respectable personal presence on Instagram, but you have to make sure that you aren’t cataloging every moment of your life. That said, you can’t check your account once a year and expect your followers to stick with you. Posting once every two or three days is a good way to maintain a balance if you don’t want to commit to posting every day.

However, posting more than once a day might cause you to lose likes and followers. As far as what to post, make sure you mix it up between photos of people (including yourself), cute viewpoints, and some artsy-looking food occasionally, along with some other engaging, interesting stuff that reflects who you are.

Twitter
As we mentioned in our article about social media habits for brands, Twitter posts tend to get lost amongst the masses of other posts in less than an hour, so you’re good to post a little bit more without enraging your following. To be more specific, four or five posts a day is plenty for the average person, and the basic rules for what to post on Facebook and Instagram apply here as well, although memes are perfectly acceptable and encouraged every now and then.

LinkedIn
People aren’t going to be reading LinkedIn posts on the weekend unless they have absolutely nothing to do besides read LinkedIn posts. To make sure that your posts reach the highest number of people possible, stick to posting during the business week, and keep it (relatively) quiet — once a week should be fine if you’re employed. If you’re looking for work, however, you can ramp it up to one per weekday to show that you’re active and enthusiastic about your industry.

However, make sure that you’re participating in discussions and helping out your peers with questions they have about the industry rather than just sharing articles and expecting people to care about news they could find on the Forbes or Time websites.
