If I am posting in the wrong forum I apoligze.

I am trying to lock down my facebook. I want to make it so no one can find my facebook profile. I have been able to take it out of the google search by unclicking the box in privacy settings to take it away from search engines but my profile still shows up in facebooks search engine when logged in as another user. How do I change this so it does not show up in facebook search? I know its possible cause I have seen other profiles do it?

Also how do I hide all my timeline stuff. I have seen other peoples profiles timeline totally locked down so as another user you can see nothing. I have checked all the boxes to only friends but this still happens. Basically the most important question I have is the one I first stated about taking it off facebook search engine.

Reason is because I want to keep just my very close friends and family on my profile. I have other friends who will want to search for me and add me and I do not want to tell them I do not want to add them so instead I just want to tell them I do not use facebook. I know its lieing but I just don't want to hurt anyone's feelings

Thanks

There are 3 things you need to do under privacy settings:

Under how you connect:

1. Who can look up your timeline by name: set to 'friends of friends'

2. who can send you friend requests: set to 'friends of friends'

Under ads, apps, and websites:

1. public search: uncheck 'enable public search'

Thanks but I did that and it still shows up on facebook search if logged in a test account that I used to search for myself.

It's a social network, you can't hide from their search, it would be counter intuitive. Just create a group that isn't allowed to see anything you post or do and lump all your unwanted friends in that. Though I think Facebook is the wrong site/network for your purpose, maybe a personal private website is more suited.

I know it is possible to hide it from there search. My ex girlfriend did it. She did not block me but we do not talk anymore. She was able to hide hers from the public search.

Yea but facebook is the only real social networking site that everyone is on so do not really have a choice.

S then use groups. And your ex-GF probably removed you as a friend and put you on do not ask anymore. There is no hide from everyone outside of disabling your profile. It'd be like having your name in the phone ok, but not searchable so people can't actually find you.

Appreciate your imput however this is not the case. I have a 2nd facebook account with a fake name that I used to test this out and even on that facebook account I can still not search for this person by the name.

I ask this cause I have some friends I want to have on my facebook and some I do not wish to have but if they see me on facebook they will have hurt feelings.

I've seen people do this though no idea how, but it is possible not to appear on FB search engine.

Do minors show on the FB search? Or something along those lines where you use one false bit of info and it does the trick.

In all honesty, I don't know, I just know, because i've seen several friends disappear from other friends list :s

Im afraid some people are correct, this cannot be done.

The only way is to block the person. Having said that, if you profile is completely locked down, the only thing they can see is your profile picture and cover picture (which Facebook should also not allow to be shown if you wish)

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
