How to Control What Shows on Your Facebook Wall

Privacy options on Facebook allow you to restrict certain wall posts.

By controlling what shows on your Facebook wall, you can help to preserve your privacy. By default, posts from friends and other activities that normally post on your wall are visible to everyone who visits your profile. If you want to limit what information is shared on your wall, you can adjust your privacy settings. The information is automatically filtered based on your preferences and is shown based on what you allow.

2. Click "Account" in the upper left menu and select "Privacy Settings."

4. Scroll down to "Things Others Share" and review the settings for your wall. Setting choices include managing what your friends can post on your wall and who is able to view wall posts.
