Facebook Demos Simplified Privacy Controls
Facebook Demos Simplified Privacy Controls
Following the recent blow-up over changes to its privacy policies, Facebook is set to roll out simplified privacy controls over the next few weeks for its users.
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.
The full blog post detailing the changes, together with a video demo, can be read here on the Facebook blog.
