Facebook faces criticism on privacy change

December 11, 2009

On Wednesday December 9th, Facebook announced changes to its privacy settings to give users more control over who sees the information they post on their personal pages. However, not everyone is happy about the changes.

“Facebook is nudging the settings toward the ‘disclose everything’ position,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the US Electronic Privacy Information Center (Epic). “That’s not fair from the privacy perspective.”
