  1. I find all the Facebook privacy scares overblown.  In a months time we’ll be living with the changes as if they were always there like the last dozen times.  Plus, in the end, you’re in control.  You can adjust your privacy settings, and, if that’s not enough, you can choose what you post on there.  Heck, you can even choose not to have a Facebook.

  2. Since I starting to Facebook, I has some worries about privacy and securities of my FB account. Our activities should not visible by our all friends.

  3. Facebook’s latest update takes sharing to places Facebook has never been before, with their new subscribe feature, Timeline, Open Graph apps, built-in privacy settings in every post and more.  But along with the update comes some new concerns regarding privacy.  Timeline and the open graph call for a review of one’s privacy settings, although not to the extent that you lose sleep or close your Facebook account.
