One thing doesn't change though : Big Z can wax lyrical all he wants in his corporate buddies paper, every time he says anything the only things I hear (or see) are "dumb fucks" and "bitch".
And that is not the kind of person I am inclined to trust my personal details to.
According to some industry sources, something like 80% of FaceBook users have switched the default setting "Everyone" to "Only Friends" and opted out of the new sharing shemes. This is obviously too much for Mark. Hence, he invents these "simpler privacy settings" to reapply the defaults "Everyone" & "opt-in" again to lower the percentage as much as possible. Additionally, the new settings will very likely satisfy public & media, as FaceBook shows some signs of honoring the user will. The whole privacy fuss will settle down more or less. In the end, the final percentage may be lower than now, just due to users' lack of interest, or worse, medias' lack of interest. Yes, I'm pessimistic, but I have to be, just to keep myself up to FaceBook's bad habits, and myself safer.
So now it's "we" ? My how times change.
