Having security system upgraded Facebook calls users to sort privacy settings

As Facebook, that has already exceeded 350 million users level, plans to turn to its upgrade security system, it ordered its subscribers to sort out their privacy settings as soon as possible.

Thus, the company revamped the site, adding many of users asked for, for instance, the ability to control who sees each individual piece of content you create or upload. Facebook promised its new Publisher Privacy Control would allow users to set a privacy setting for each piece on content they create. 

Facebook’s also eliminating its "regional networks", in favor of four basic control settings: friends, friends of friends, everyone and customized. This will be allied with an "easy, intuitive and accessible" privacy settings page.

Surely, quite a lot for its users will be taken in, so it's providing a transition tool to walk people through the process - complete with recommendations on settings for individual chunks of data.

The social networking portal, however, admits that this claim can be passed off by most of its users who would have been too busy posting pictures of themselves getting plastered and flashing their body parts. So, Facebook will have to remind. 

Lastly, the company has promised ongoing privacy education for its users.
