Facebook faces criticism on privacy change
(BBC): Digital rights groups and bloggers have heaped criticism on Facebook’s changed privacy policy. Critics said the changes were unwelcome and "nudged" people towards sharing updates with the wider web and made them findable via search engines. The changes were introduced on 9 December via a pop-up that asked users to update privacy settings. Facebook said the changes help members manage updates they wanted to share, not trick them into revealing too much. "Facebook is nudging the settings toward the ‘disclose everything’ position," said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the US Electronic Privacy Information Center (Epic).
