Today Facebook finally reached a settlement with the FTC over privacy concerns that have been haunting the social media behemoth as of late.
Facebook can’t just up and change its privacy settings whenever it wants to. It must now obtain express consent from its users, first.
Since the settlement, Zuckerberg has penned a blog post outlining the Facebook features that the site has launched, which include friend lists, the ability to review tags before they appear on a profile, mobile versions of privacy controls, amount other notable updates. He also announced the splitting of the Chief Privacy Officer position into two parts, to be held by Erin Egan and Michael Richter in product and policy, respectively.
