Facebook privacy settings change
Alright, I’ll confess. I do have a Facebook account, even though I am a bit of a privacy nut. However, unlike most users I have employed the privacy settings to protect me from the average data mining theif.
Although it looks like it’s about to get a bit harder for these folks to get the data they want easily. Facebook just popped up a wizard today for me as I logged in, one that allowed me to change my privacy settings. Naturally I really didn’t change anything, because I already had my settings perfected, but this looks like it will help with eliminating most users privacy issues. Sure, the more hidden options like preventing your account from being indexed by search engines isn’t there, but maybe this wizard will help people realize it does exist.
Props to Facebook for making an effort, even if it is very small.
