Social Media Privacy Checklist

Platform settings first for social media privacy: SecurityChecklist keeps this draft free-first and claim-safe. Most exposure cuts come from audience controls and oversharing, not a new subscription logo. This guide stays free-first; we invent no product scores or unverified prices. Overall scores stay unpublished (unpublished).

Direct verdict

Social Media Privacy Checklist: finish free controls first, then consider paid tools only for a leftover job you can name. Product scores stay unpublished (N/Pub) until signed test records exist.

Unpublished

Priority checklist

  1. Review audience defaults (friends/followers vs public)
  2. Limit location tags and birthday/phone visibility
  3. Revoke unused third-party app access
  4. Turn on MFA for each social account
  5. Consider data-removal tools only for people-search leftovers

Ledger-verified starting prices show below when captured; otherwise cards stay confirm-live or pending. Overall scores stay unpublished (N/Pub). Never invent dollar amounts.

Checklist

  1. 1

    Tighten audience defaults

    Free

    Set posts, stories, and friend lists to the smallest audience that still works. Public is a choice, not a requirement.

    • Review default audience
    • Limit older public posts if needed
    • Check tagged photo review settings
  2. 2

    Reduce identity breadcrumbs

    Free

    Hide phone numbers, exact birthdates, and real-time location tags when you do not need them public.

    • Remove public phone/email fields
    • Limit birthday visibility
    • Avoid live location sharing by default
  3. 3

    Revoke stale apps and enable MFA

    Free

    Third-party quizzes and old integrations linger. Clear them. Enable MFA on every social login.

    • Revoke unused apps
    • Enable MFA
    • Unique passwords per network
  4. 4

    Optional people-search cleanup later

    Optional paid

    Social settings do not remove data broker pages. Use DIY opt-outs or removal tools for that separate job.

    • Self-search your name
    • Opt out high-risk listings

What this checklist does not cover

  • Screenshots of past public posts
  • Platforms that ignore settings bugs
  • Invented oversharing statistics

Sources

  • Platform privacy settings help, Official Facebook/Instagram/X/TikTok-style privacy help varies; verify in-product same-day
  • Overall scores unpublished (unpublished), No invented lab scores, detection rates, or aggregate ratings on Batch39/40/41 drafts
  • Security Checklist methodology, How guides are structured before scores publish, /methodology/

Next steps

Final verdict

Use free controls first. Treat product scores as unpublished until signed test records exist. Affiliate payout never sets recommendations. Re-check volatile prices and plan names before purchase.
