Everyone agrees that when it comes to social media, privacy matters. It matters who sees your posts, who contacts you, and who comments on your posts. Today a new privacy feature appeared on Facebook. This feature allows you to choose who can comment on your public Facebook posts. Options include your friends, your friends’ friends, and the public (anyone on Facebook). Here’s how you can control who comments on your Facebook posts.
