Facebook has been dealing with an increasing number of privacy concerns. I did have such kind of feelings, and promptly thought for some suggestions.
On May 12th, 2010, three engineers and designers in San Francisco have publish their proposal and used Facebook API to search on public information from Facebook users. They have made two main points on Facebook:
1. Facebook does not clearly indicate what piece of information will be public.
2. Facebook changes the privary rules too often.
Mark Zuckerberg in an op-ed in the Washington Post Monday said
We have heard the feedback. There needs to be a simpler way to control your information. In the coming weeks, we will add privacy controls that are much simpler to use. We will also give you an easy way to turn off all third-party services. We are working hard to make these changes available as soon as possible.
And he did not claim to make any apologies to Facebook users.
In the upcoming weeks, let see if a number of changes in Facebook will happen, or a number of Facebook quitters will increase.
