Facebook Changing Privacy Controls As Criticism Escalates
Facebook responded to intensifying criticism over its mishandling of user data Wednesday by announcing new features to its site that will give users more visibility and control over how their information is shared. The changes, rolling out in coming weeks, will also enable users to prevent the social network from sharing that information with advertisers and other third parties.
"Last week showed how much more work we need to do to enforce our policies and help people understand how Facebook works and the choices they have over their data," Facebook Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan and Deputy General Counsel Ashlie Beringer wrote in a statement.
"We've heard loud and clear that privacy settings and other important tools are too hard to find and that we must do more to keep people informed," they said.
The changes make it easier for users to see what information they've shared, delete certain personal information and control ads that they see. - More, NPR
