Facebook has recently come up with new privacy settings for all it’s users. In the recent 24 hours it has implemented the new privacy controls across all users you have signed in by taking them to the settings page right after they logged in. I have always been a fan of Facebook’s privacy features. It’s something no social network cared about, a simple yet very important feature, privacy.
Facebook’s new privacy controls are an added advancement to their existing set of privacy features. Implementing privacy across a set of 350 million users who have their own different requirements is not an easy job. Facebook has gone the right way by letting you take full control of all your content on Facebook. Now you can control everything from photos to your status messages, you’re in charge of the who-sees-what world.
Facebook now lets you take control of your status messages. You can target a single person, a group of friends or you can simply exclude a particular status update from those who are not concerned. What I like here is that now you can simply post status messages to your group of friends without annoying your other Facebook friends and save yourself from the trouble of I-don’t-get-this responses.
Apart from this there’s greater control on your privacy settings page. Facebook shall now prompt you to re-enter your password to begin editing your privacy settings from the main privacy page. Another added security checkpoint. And now you can preview your profile as it should appear to you or any particular friend as per your Facebook privacy settings. So hiding stuff from your girlfriend/boyfriend just got a whole lot easier now.
