Facebook adds new privacy controlsby Andrew Redfern @ 19th March 2008 10:09 am Reuters have recently published an article outlining a new development in Facebook’s security & privacy setup : “While part of Facebook’s appeal has been the greater degree of privacy controls it offers users compared with other major social network sites, the site has also been the target of two major rebellions by its users in response to new features many felt exposed previously private information to wider view. Matt Cohler, Facebook’s vice president of product management, told reporters the company was seeking to evolve beyond the simple privacy controls originally aimed at relatively homogenous groups of college-age users. ‘We have a lot more users, a lot more types of users, a lot more relationships, we have a lot more types of relationships,’ Cohler said. But only 25 percent of existing users have bothered to take control of their privacy using Facebook’s existing personal information settings, the company said in a statement.” “Facebook members will be able to control access to details about themselves they share on the site at a group-level by creating and managing lists of friends that are granted different levels of access to such information. Users already control what individual friends see on a member’s profile. The new privacy controls will be introduced in the early morning hours of Wednesday, California time, the company said. The group privacy controls take advantage of “friends lists,” a feature the company introduced in December that help members organize friends in their network into groups. These private lists allow users to target messages to selected friends or filter what personal details those groups see.” You can read the full Reuters article here : Facebook adds privacy controls, plans chat feature Would you like to know more about this subject?
