Give users the option to make cover photos private on Facebook

Give users the option to make cover photos private on Facebook

The Issue

People should have the option to keep their cover photos private. The fact that this is not an option invades the privacy of the users, and allows anyone to view photos that should be able to be kept private to only their friends, or themselves if they choose.

Like many of you, I use Facebook on a regular basis. For the most part I enjoy it, gives me a good way to keep in touch with friends and family, and is a great tool for networking. I don't however, like the fact that I do not have an option to make my "Cover Photos" private. This means that although my profile is set to private, and so are all of my other pictures, my cover photos remain open to the public for viewing. I searched the internet to try and figure out if there was an option to somehow change settings to make my cover photos private, but at this point is not an option on Facebook. I created this petition in hopes that Mark Zuckerberg, and the other Facebook staff can take action and correct this problem. We have the right to our privacy, granted FB is a free site, and we do have the option to post what we want or not, I feel like if privacy features are offered for all other photos and profile pictures, that it should be offered for cover photos as well. Please pass this on, and Share with everyone you know, Sign it, and hopefully we can get enough signatures to get Facebook's attention
