Faced with a backlash that wouldn't go away, Facebook announced changes yesterday that will make it easier for users to change privacy settings and block outside parties from seeing personal information.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that feedback from users over recent privacy changes, which made some user
information public by default, was crucial in the decision to tighten controls.
Changes from today
Facebook will begin rolling out the new privacy controls today, he said, and they should be in place for most users within the next few weeks. Zuckerberg said Facebook's new settings will give users "one simple tool" to control how their information is shared: with friends only, with friends of friends or with everyone.
A single click also will let users block all of their information from being accessed by third parties, such as game or application developers.
