Facebook Privacy and FTC Settlement

The Washington Post writes a brief Q&A re: Facebook and their privacy policies.

“On Tuesday, Facebook agreed to settle federal charges that it violated users’ privacy by getting people to share more information than they agreed to when they signed up to the site. As part of a settlement, Facebook will allow independent auditors to review its privacy practices for the next twenty years. It also agreed to get approval from users before changing how the company handles their data.”
