Social networks have increasingly been part of people's everyday lives. Facebook, with more than 1 billion active users, is an example of this phenomenon. Associated with this growth, concern with privacy issues in such networks has also increased. One of the problems identified is users' difficulty to understand how different configurations of privacy settings impact the visibility of their information by others. In this article, we investigate the possibility of one of the reasons for the problem being the fact that the impact of the different settings also depend on actions and situations making it difficult for users to anticipate them. To do so, we present a prototype that allows users to simulate the visibility of photos on Facebook by exploring the possible settings and actions. An evaluation with users showed that the simulator allows them to understand impacts of settings, combined with the actions that were not clear from the use of Facebook.
