SafeSquid can put Facebook into read-only mode: users can view content but not comment, like, or share. Access can be full for social media groups, read-only for others, and time-based (e.g. relaxed at lunch). ## Facebook read-only mode **Understand the possibilities** 1. Restricted Like, comment and share. 2. Blocking selective Facebook apps. 3. Allow Facebook login only to specific user or group of users. 4. Block Facebook chat. ## Prerequisites HTTPS Inspection should be enabled in SafeSquid. If not enabled, refer to the document - [How to enable HTTPS Inspection](/SSL_Inspection). ## [Access the SafeSquid User Interface](/Configuration_Portal) Access safesquid user interface to enable Facebook read only mode Search 'FACEBOOK READ ONLY MODE' in search section ## Search policy: "FACEBOOK READ ONLY MODE" to Search Search 'FACEBOOK READ ONLY MODE' in access profiles under restriction policies ## Edit policies and profiles to Enable as TRUE Enables 'FACEBOOK READ ONLY MODE' as true to make Facebook read only mode Click enabled 'FACEBOOK READ ONLY MODE' policy as true to make Facebook read only mode Save 'FACEBOOK READ ONLY MODE' policy as true to make Facebook read only mode ## Access FACEBOOK to verify Access Facebook to verify Facebook read only mode policy Test result of Facebook read only mode policy Test result of Facebook read only mode policy Test result of Facebook read only mode policy Test result of Facebook read only mode policy ## Related topics - [FAQs](/faqs/faqs.md) - [Allow Specific Page on Facebook](/use_cases/content_modifier/allowing_specific_page_on_facebook.md) - [Block Particular User Login to Facebook or Gmail](/use_cases/access_restriction/block_particular_user_login_to_facebook_or_gmail.md) - [Deployment Checklist](/getting_started/install_safesquid/prerequisites.md) - [Profiling Engine](/use_cases/profiling_engine/profiling_engine.md)
