Facebook Seeking to Make Changes in Privacy Policy

Facebook is seeking to make changes in privacy setting for users once limited to regional networks and is facing opposition from Facebook users. The company plans to eliminate regional networks, which had effectively limited access to information to only users within the regional network. Facebook proposes that unless regional network users individually change privacy settings of their once regional network accounts their information may be broadly available once regional networks are eliminated.
