Because of Privacy Basics, you are the “ruler” of your account who has the power of 32 interactive guides in 44 languages and can control your “state people.”

These Basics include tips for who can see your posts, what other people (who are not your friend) can watch in your profile and so much. Facebook’s intention is to help its users in every possible way including security info also.
