Facebook rules: you should never do these things

Even though Facebook is part of the everyday life of every internet user as a social network, there are unwritten rules that you should stick to so that you don't put your foot in it. We show you what you should never do on Facebook.

Facebook rules: never accept parents as friends

• Even if the parents are often very curious, the best thing to do is to ignore friend requests.
• Unfortunately, embarrassing comments are often unavoidable for parents. In addition, many a post can cause unsightly reactions at the dinner table or at family celebrations. Therefore: Don't add mom and dad!

Facebook rules: read messages and do not reply

• Nothing is more unpleasant than seeing that your own message was read but not answered.
• So there are two options. Either do not watch the messages or reply directly; so you can not annoy anyone.

Facebook rules: Like old pictures or comments

• Nothing is stranger than being notified that a three-year-old photo has been liked.
• Don't play the stalker (too obviously) and only like recent posts.

Facebook rules: maintaining privacy

• Even if you are invited by Facebook to post every phase of your life, keep private things off the Internet.
• All too often, employers or strangers get information that they would rather keep to themselves.

Facebook rules: Make your profile only accessible to friends

• The easiest way to solve the privacy problem is to set it so that only certain circles can read your full profile.

Facebook rules: do not "like" posts

• It often happens when scrolling on the smartphone that the most unpleasant posts are given a like.
• Removing the like only makes the situation worse, as you will then notice that you clicked.
