Update: Privacy As Payment – Facebook Answers To The FTC


I am very happy to see that Facebook has been making positive changes regarding protecting your privacy (or should I say they have been forced to make them via the settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission).
Check out this article to read more details and stay informed by subscribing to this online publication. These online news folks do a phenomenal job of keeping relevant, current news in front of you from the social media world:
“As far as Facebook’s users are concerned, I doubt they will notice any change after today’s development. Will there be complaints about Facebook with regard to privacy in the future? Of course. But the settlement provides a template for transparency, so when, say, Facebook’s facial-recognition software fully blossoms, you won’t start seeing your face in ads unless you opt-in. If Zuckerberg’s statement is any indication, Facebook appears to have learned a thing or two after setting off so many privacy tripwires over the years. And if it hasn’t, Uncle Sam is watching.”

~~~~ORIGINAL POST~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Comments orignally posted in May 2010:

“Facebook holding staff meeting on privacy as criticism grows“

My main concern with Facebook, in regards to the user experience, is that numerous minor and major changes have been made with little to no warning, consistently during the last few years, as FB’s had its highest growth.
Since I use it every day, and even all day long when I am working on projects, I would have noticed an announcement or two, if they were made. Why are the changes mostly made so secretly and privately when they have to do with making other private people’s information available publicly?
I believe that this is where we learn that nothing is ever truly free, even if the price is not readily evident.
I can honestly say that any future alternatives to Facebook that may arise would be fairly attractive to me and most of my contacts, as well. Privacy and freedom are interwoven, and I don’t know anyone who wants to completely trade them in just for a free online networking experience.
