Facebook Draws Ire Over Privacy Changes
December 10, 2009 – 9:05 amFacebook has managed to irk many users due to new changes to the social networking website’s privacy policy.
Privacy advocates think the changes go to far and don’t do enough to protect user’s privacy rights.
“These new ‘privacy’ changes are clearly intended to push Facebook users to publicly share even more information than before,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation said in a statement. “Even worse, the changes will actually reduce the amount of control that users have over some of their personal data.”
Other critics of the changes said it was designed primarily to make more information available to search engines like Google.
Facebook has received intense criticism in the past over privacy issues.
