US – Facebook cleans up its privacy controls: “(CNET.com)
Revamped privacy settings are coming soon to Facebook. The social network’s privacy controls had gotten so sprawling that they were distributed across six separate pages and 40 different settings. As a result, Facebook’s new controls will be more streamlined so as to offer easier and simpler controls about how much everything from entire profiles to individual pieces of content are shared. Users will be introduced to this through ‘transition tools’ that allow them to toggle how open everything on their profile will be – totally public, friends-only, restricted to company or school networks, etc.
