Wrapping Up

You can find who and how many people shared your posts if they do not have private accounts. Your shares indicate your thinking and personal choices which might not be good for everybody to know. 

It is always better to restrict your social sharing to a minimum to avoid privacy leakages. Identity theft, footprint tracking, and scams are common these days. Facebook is the widely used platform to engage people into scams and ransomwares. Stay secure with PurePrivacy!
