It would seem that Facebook are actually taking note of people’s privacy concerns. Have just been reading in the news that there will soon be a ‘privacy groups’ feature launched (I beleive this is to replace the current ‘lists’ which are used). Definitely a good idea to be selective with privacy when sharing data online.

Great. I too submitted some feedback to the privacy officer with regard to the new privacy settings. I really think they took a backward step with the settings. It’s such a disaster now.

Awesome. Did you get any feedback for this. The recent privacy update doesn’t seem to be of any use. Even though it tends to be much simpler, tweaking things have got harder. Since all are grouped. For example I would like all to see my status updates but not my photos or wall posts. This cannot be facilitated in the new update.

Personally I feel Facebook needs to improve on every aspect. Interface, Security etc. Now the real meaning of social networking has gone away from the site. It’s rather an online games site now with millions of applications. The most annoying part is that you see almost 80% of your feeds are related to these applications and only around 20% about your friends. Which I think really should not be the case in a social networking site.

I’m sure that the Chief Privacy Officer wouldn’t have been able to answer most of the questions. Facebook was popular for it’s privacy settings but now I believe the standards for privacy has drastically dropped on Facebook. In one article I read that some of the privacy settings are embedded on the CSS of the page and once CSS is disabled an the page is viewed, there are no relevant privacy settings. I’m not completely sure about this though
