    Facebook warning

    I don't use it myself but it's a little warning to people who do.

    For some reason, for some people (if not all), Facebook has disabled the safe browsing which means your Facebook could get hacked. Do the following steps:

    1) From drop down menu where you log out, click account settings

    2)top left hand corner, click security

    3) where it says secure browsing, make sure it says "enabled", if not - change it!

    It's very important to have this enabled, enabling the secure browsing makes sure you use https with facebook, rather than a standard http connection. Go on a website like amazon or a bank - when you come to login you'll notice in your address bar it'll have 'https://' at the start (or it should), this means the information you're sending to and from the server you're logging into is encrypted. Never login to any website if the address bar has 'http' when you come to put in your details, its a good rule of thumb to follow for any website, not just Facebook

        FB should be restricted under 18. It is almost impossible to control the information.
