Lil Red Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 +J.M.J.+ grr. this is the first i've heard of it - do they have something on facebook about it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleflower+JMJ Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 No i don't think so. They are trying to avoid the outburst over the last change by doing it slowly. This change is ridiculous. No privacy at all. All for google and more search results? How do you get more search results with people's personal information? No good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm officially thinking about getting rid of my Facebook. The only problem that as a college student living over a thousand miles from home, and soon going to Rome for five months, I'd quickly lose contact with nearly everyone.

You'll have to go on every post and switch it manually to private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musturde Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) noo, there is supposedly going to be default settings you can change. I don't think Facebook is out to get us. The people working at Facebook knows there will be enormous backlash if they forces people to make their private conversations public.

[/quote] From the way I understood the article this change would make the default option to public, but when you mark something private you will have the option to make that your default setting (so you'd only have to change it once rather than every single time you post). [quote]You'll be able each time you publish a message to change that message's privacy setting and [b]from that drop down there's a link to change your default setting.[/b][/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] same here. methinks people are getting unnecessarily paranoid. If you don't like your stuff public, just switch it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Basically what they're doing is making the default setting the opposite of what it was. It's annoying that we'll have to go in and change it but I'm really not too worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
