Facebook is clearly still feeling the heat because they can’t or won’t keep users data safe. To try and crank down the heat, they’ve announced that they’ve beefed up their privacy tools:
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. 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. So in addition to Mark Zuckerberg’s announcements last week – cracking down on abuse of the Facebook platform, strengthening our policies, and making it easier for people to revoke apps’ ability to use your data – we’re taking additional steps in the coming weeks to put people more in control of their privacy. Most of these updates have been in the works for some time, but the events of the past several days underscore their importance.
Now if you’re a Facebook user, you should go through this stuff to make sure your privacy is on point. Really, you should do this. Assuming that you’re not about to join the #DeleteFacebook camp of course. In the end, I am not sure if this helps as Facebook has been exposed as a company who doesn’t care about your privacy and about securing your personal data unless it’s forced to as it would affect their profitability if they actually took stuff like this seriously. Thus if it were me and I had the choice of running through their beefed up privacy tools, or joining the #DeleteFacebook crowd, I’d choose the latter.
