Our Take on Facebook

While user privacy concerns are primarily targeted toward the client, customer, and their personal use, it’s important to be cognizant of data and security updates in the space. Businesses should remain on Facebook, yet understand how concerns are affecting their customers. Talk to your social media manager about how this news plays into your current and future strategy.

It’s always best practice for people and their companies to carefully review what they are adding to their profiles and pages and what opting in and out of Facebook settings truly mean. Today, we all have to be more aware and diligent than ever of how social media affects our lives.
