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.
I use FB for connecting with far-away friends. To see what they’re doing like they’re still near me, to share common thoughts,…To me, protect private info is not so important than to know what my friends’ doing and let they know how my daily life is. But I do admit that FB recently did not attract me and my friends any more. Seeming we’re lazy for updating activities on FB and we turn back to original communication – email.
As a FB user, I don’t need Mark Zuckerberg’s apology. I think it’s just tedious words. You know, thanks to FB, I found many lost-contact friends and to be with them again is a kind of happiness.
Plus, not social networks reveal your private info, but there’re lots of organizations that assure to protect your info but they do not.
