Although being cautious about what you post on Facebook is excellent advice, cashman's statement is not accurate.

Facebook enables you to control what can seen by anyone (the public) and what can be seen by your friends, whom you specifically select. Now I will grant you that Facebook's control panel used by you for controlling who sees your information is not exactly easy to understand. But I believe it is accurate to say that the pubic sees much less than your friends see.
