Did you hear about the ‘most used words’ as a Facebook quiz?
MB immediately flagged it on her timeline, as she checked out the privacy settings…. and they’re beyond grotesque.
We’re talking that if you took that quiz, you revealed:
- All of photos photos and photos you’re tagged in
- All the info about the device you’re using…. including browser and language
- Everything you’ve ever liked
- Everything you’ve ever posted on your timeline
- Hometown and current city
- IP address
- Name, profile picture, age, sex, birthday, and other public info
- Your entire education history
- Your entire friend list
Insane it is.

Your takeaway?
NEVER take these insidious quizzes! They’re simply bait to seduce you into giving up your private information.
Take control,
Manny and MB
