Facebook At it Again: Privacy Policy Change to Share User Data
Facebook and the definition of privacy is still searching for a connection. Facebook once again changed its privacy policy to disadvantage users by sharing more of once private data with third party sites. This time the announcement came on Friday afternoon where it would more than likely not get much notice. Thanks to the vigilance of tech writers this did not go as quietly as planned. It is reported that Facebook's announced change strips away more user privacy rights. Users can no longer opt-out of sharing information about themselves with third-party web sites when using applications and connecting to links that take them to other sites. You must visit your "privacy settings" to change settings from "everyone" if you intend to limit access to your Facebook information.
