Facebook Glitch Displays How Popular Your Posts Are

Would you change any of your status updates if you knew people could see exactly how many times they were seen?

You might want to delete some posts if your answer was yes. A Facebook glitch is showing everyone exactly how popular your posts are. People are able to see the number of views next to the “Like” button underneath their posts.

According to The Verge, Facebook said they’re aware of the problem and they’re working on fixing it. This glitch is only affecting the mobile version of Facebook.

This is an important reminder to not post anything on Facebook you wouldn’t mind everyone seeing. Even though this bug doesn’t relate directly to privacy, you need to be aware that you don’t control what is seen and not seen. Do you want people to see how many times your blog post was viewed? 

All in all, this is an important reminder that Facebook’s glitches may affect our privacy. Imagine if “by mistake” all of our limited posts (posts that only some of our connections can see) became public? Don’t ever post anything you don’t want the whole world to see – this goes for all of your social networks.

Do you care if people can see how many times your Facebook status updates were seen?

Founder and President at LawyerLocate.ca Inc.

Natalie was spirited to start this company after a frustrating and poor personal experience when searching for a lawyer back in the late nineties. “I quickly realized that the tools available to assist someone in finding the right lawyer were grossly inadequate. Not only inadequate for the individual in need of a lawyer, but also inadequate for the lawyers in search of new clients. There had to be a better way to connect clients and lawyers in a more efficient manner – without wasting everybody’s time and effort”, explains Natalie.

Natalie brings a passion to the business that ensures the entire LawyerLocate.ca team strives to improve the service for both lawyers and the general public. To that end, she is committed to ongoing communication with our members and welcomes and relies on clients’ input to continually evolve the service to make it better for all.
