A week ago, Facebook changed their privacy settings, after much criticism of their previous approach. What's the view a week on?
Firstly here's the BBC's take on the new screens. Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg explains the rationale. Further official details are here.
Secondly Facebook yesterday released a new privacy page, in the form of a Facebook wall. This is being continuously updated with new advice and privacy material. They also released a second, short explanatory video, called "Controlling Sharing on Facebook: Part II".
If you still think there is work for Facebook to do on privacy, then you can provide feedback directly.
3 types of privacy
There are in fact three types of privacy relevant to Facebook:
- What people can see and do on your "wall"
- What computers & "bots" can see
- What information Facebook is actively giving or selling to advertisers and other people
