Facebook Rolls Out New Privacy Features
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg today announced changes to its confusing and often controversial privacy settings. All the new features are available now and users will be informed via an announcement on the home pages.
- A single control to change content viewing permissions. Options include friends-only, friends-of-friends, or everyone
- Settings apply to past and future posts
- A simpler method to control how people can find you
- Easier opt-out of new personalization features and sharing info via third-party sites
I checked just now and I don’t see it. Under Account -> Privacy Settings there is still a list of links to 6 sub-pages with each sub-page having a dozen different settings.
Perhaps it hasn’t quite hit the servers yet?
Here’s a link to the new Facebook Privacy Guide:
