Who will have the upper hand about privacy: Facebook or Facebook Users?

Posted May 26th, 2010 in Social media and tagged , , by navah

Using Facebook to build your online business community is great, however for many business owners, having too much of their information shared is still holding them back from using Facebook.  

Facebook is working on new privacy control settings that will give people simple control of all information shared.

Here is how Facebook’s New Privacy Controls will work, illustrated in a simple screen capture.

I am curious as to how long this privacy control settings will last and who will eventually get the upper hand: Facebook or Facebook Users?

    There seems to be a tug o’ war going on but I think in the end the users will win. But most users aren’t aware of how to even find their settings on FB let alone go and amend them. This is something that FB really needs to work on, or is that the point, that the settings are hidden for a reason.

    I agree about the privacy setting being vague.
