Facebook privacy
Facebook has some new privacy settings. Security Garden says watch out for pre-selected settings and gives some information on how to guard your privacy.
Added later: Here’s some more discussion of problems with Facebook’s default privacy settings. ChannelWeb reports:
Thanks to updated privacy settings, Facebook users now have to fear everyone — literally.
Starting Wednesday, Facebook users who logged into the site were treated to a prompt requesting that they review and update their privacy settings. Users had choice of sharing their profile and status updates with “friends,” “friends of friends” or “everyone.”Facebook’s new privacy updates were accomplished via new transition tool, which directed users to update old privacy settings, while offering suggested new settings. Ignoring the prompts automatically defaulted privacy settings to “everyone” mode — meaning that everyone on the Internet could potentially have access to information shared on the site.
