Facebook's privacy settings have changed
March 17th, 2009 - Posted by Caitlin
If you are a Facebook user, you have almost certainly noticed the latest changes. But you may not have noticed that along with the layout, Facebook's privacy settings have changed as well. Previously, Facebook profile information was only visible to friends and those in your network. Now, users are given the option to make their information visible to everyone. This change should not have impacted users' current privacy settings, but it may serve as a good reminder to check those settings and be sure that you are in control of who can see your Facebook profile.
