Facebook recently made some changes with the way users information was shared - not only with other Facebook users but also widely across the internet. What was disconcerting to many users and technology specialists was that these changes were difficult to manage and control - see my previous article here.
Since these new Privacy/Account Changes, Facebook has been under mounting pressure - even from the US Government - to address the situation. Today, Facebook creator and CEO Mark
Zuckerberg announced how they are modifying the situation ...You have sent us lots of feedback. We've listened carefully in order to figure out the best next steps. We recognize that we made a lot of changes, so we really wanted to take the time to understand your feedback and make sure we address your concerns. The number one thing we've heard is that there just needs to be a simpler way to control your information. We've always offered a lot of controls, but if you find them too hard to use then you won't feel like you have control. Unless you feel in control, then you won't be comfortable sharing and our service will be less useful for you. We agree we need to improve this. Today we're starting to roll out some changes that will make all of these controls a lot simpler. We've focused on three things: a single control for your content, more powerful controls for your basic information and an easy control to turn off all applications.Simpler privacy controls gradually launching at www.facebook.com/privacy You can read the entire text of Mark
