Who sees my "likes" on Facebook?
I have a few questions about this. (I'm going to make up some namesso this makes sense)
1. I just "liked" a comment on my news feed. My friend (Claire) made the post, but I liked a comment made by someone I don't know (Jill). I have lots of friends who don't know either of them. Do those friends of mine know I've liked Jill's comment? Do my friends get an announcement like "Horton just liked Jill's comment"?
2. Claire posts a lot of political stuff that I like, and I get it on my newsfeed. But not all my friends are of the same opinion, and I'd rather stay politically neutral in their eyes. Are they getting all of Claire's posts? Do my friends know when (or if) I comment on Claire's posts? Remember, none of my other friends know her.
3. There are sites that I'd like to "like", but I don't all of my friends to know. Any way I can do this?
Thank you for anyone willing to take the time to help me out with this.

1. Nope, they can only see if you liked a post not comments.
2. They can actually see if you commented on Claire's posts from the sidebar even if they don't have her as a friend.
3. Sadly no.
These apply to all your friends who are not ''Restricted' I guess.
Well, I personally hate the fact that people can see what posts I liked and commented on.

When my 'friends' like or comment, it shows up in my newsfeed.
I once found a setting that turned my likes and comments off... Ie; I could like and comment, without having it show up in everybody's feed...
I'm unable to find that setting today.
The easiest way to find out what your friends see... is to open multiple browsers. Log in as your self in one browser, get a friend to log in with another browser...
Post stuff, like stuff, comment, from your account... watch it show up on your friend's news feed.

1) & 2) yes, your friends cans see all your activity when you like/comment anything unless you change the privacy settings. 3)look under your privacy settings but I don't know if you can hide"liked" pages.
