BG45 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' post='1906647' date='Jun 30 2009, 07:56 PM']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.[/quote] Ditto. Annoying but minorly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior1027 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The problem is that most people probably won't even realize that it changed and that their messages are open for anyone to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I am less worried about statuses than photos. If they're going to make photos public that I've set private, I'm not cool with that. I'll be a heckuva lot less willing to put up any photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. [/quote] There's email. I hate to say it, but Facebook isn't the epitome of communication. If they love you, they'll send an old fashioned email (if you ask them to). And yeah, I'll see how this public/private thing goes. If I don't like it, FB will go to the wayside. I'm already sort of upset about the "new" license agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissyP89 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I checked all my setting today, nothing has changed...what did you guys have to do to get your stuff back to private? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icelandic_iceskater Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I didn't notice any changes either... [quote name='Sacred Music Man' post='1907422' date='Jul 1 2009, 06:31 PM']That all your content was still owned by facebook, even if you delete your account (they still have the "right" to use it) They did?

Now the stuff is only theirs while it's up there. once you delete it, they no longer have rights to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReinnieR Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 sounds like a response to this article [url="http://kottke.org/07/07/facebook-vs-aol-redux"]http://kottke.org/07/07/facebook-vs-aol-redux[/url] blame that person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_in_this_world Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'm probably among the few who are under 21 and have never had a facebook or a myspace page...and i plan to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browneyes106 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I don't like the new Facebook changes. I think people should only have public profiles in their networks if they chose to not for the whole world to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I did good to even make a Facebook account, let alone try to figure out how to circumvent their new rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
