How Do I Make My Comments Private on Facebook?

Unfortunately, you can’t hide your Facebook comments. Only the person who initially shared the post can change the privacy settings of that post. If they decide to hide or delete the post, the same thing will happen to your comment.

As long as the post’s privacy is set to Public, it will remain visible. And so will your comment.
