Facebook privacy settings: What you need to know

Facebook is making major changes to its privacy settings - giving you the opportunity to share your personal information with "everyone" on the internet. But is that wise? More information at http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2009/12/10/facebook-privacy/

This new update was, in my opinion, horrendous.

Now other people can see what pages I'm a fan of, but there's no option to disable that! What should I do?

i heard ppl cant see your profile picture if you block them... maybe thats what we have to do now that facebook took away our privacy!

HI there i have got some little questions :

-if i e.g. set wall post to friends of friends, are my wallposts also available for close friends ?

- and if i choose only close friends, will my other friends also see my wall posts (or likes or something like that..) ?

Thanks for any answer ^^

I like this video... this guy's got it.

FACEBOOK on the other hand, seems to make things difficult (forgive me if I think this is on purpose!). I wish someone made an UPDATED video of Facebook... the one I have looks different!... yes sure... Facebook is making it "easy" for us to use and keep our info private (/ironic)

Those evil bastards who run Facebook are Satan's children and the embodiment of pure evil. They gave away our privacy settings so that pedophiles can masturbate to our children's photos and stalk them. The people who run Facebook hate our children and wish for the worst for us, and they are in league with child molesters. Every time they hear a child has been abused, Facebook employees laugh and plot more innocent deaths. They are Satan's children, and I pray they writhe in the lake of fire.
