Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, who has recently turned 26, was forced to cancel his Caribbean celebration for the series of emergency meetings on his least favorite topic, Privacy.
Remarkable modifications have been done to the website's platform, which was the conclusion of these meetings. Last Wednesday, user interface and a major media event took place. Numerous trusted media outlets, privacy advocates and politicians around the globe reported in this major event.
It has been claimed by Facebook that it will make four privacy revisions. First, Facebook says its user interface will soon provide a single simplified control panel where you can choose who gets to see the content you post. Second, it will reduce the amount of personal information that must be visible to everyone.
Third, it will be easier for users to control whether its third-party applications and partner websites can access your information. Fourth, Facebook has promised that this will be the last revision to its privacy settings for a long time.
Zuckerberg said "Believe me, we're probably happier about this than you are." In May 2008, a complaint was made to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada by students and some of their colleagues at the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) at the University of Ottawa, faculty of law.
The original complaint comprised 24 allegations on a range of issues surrounding Facebook's default privacy settings. So considering these allegations as an important aspect to look upon, the changes in the privacy settings have been made.
