PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The ability to hide your account is no longer an option on Facebook. The old privacy setting allowing users to choose whether users can search for them by name is gone. But, there are still a few ways to hide on the social network.
What's a person to do, now that any of Facebook's one billion users can search for you by name?
CNET writer Jason Cipriani says, 'Use a pseudonym, a fake name that really close friends and relatives will identify you by but random acquaintances and complete strangers would have no idea to recognize you through that name. It is a gray area with FB terms and conditions but they're not going to go check every account, they're too big for that'
Another option is not using a photo of yourself.
'You may have a pseudonym or fake name but people are still going to be able to identify you so using a photo of maybe a TV show you like or an artist that you like, something along those lines and don't use photos of your kids because you are still identifiable though photos of your kids.'
Cipriani also suggests that you make sure your sharing options for photos, status updates and check-ins are not set to public. And as for previous posts, there is an option under account settings to limit the audience to friends only.
