Facebook has updated its privacy settings
Facebook has its privacy settings for users more control over the content they are on site as possible.
Updates include new personal shortcuts, more accessible information on where the content is displayed and new ways to remove tags from photos.
The company says the changes are part of efforts to help users manage content on the site.
Some experts believe that the site tidy-up on highly rumored launch of a search engine.
Erin Egan, Chief Privacy Officer at Facebook, told the BBC: "We do not want our users to be amazed We all want to understand how their information and make the best experience is part of our goal to be better .. we all time want to improve. "
The three main elements to change:
1. Privacy shortcuts - a new icon on the toolbar gives users access to which side they are on, and asks three main questions -? Who can see my things that can contact me, and how can I stop someone bother to see me?
2. In-product training - it means that when you do something Facebook will explain when showing places - remind users that even if a position can be hidden for their own timeline still appear in search, news sites and other sites on Facebook.
3. Questions and removal tool - allows users to access a tab and multiple images to select and delete them on their side. They can also send a direct message to the person who tagged them asking them to remove the tags and explain why they do not want their picture posted.
Other changes include new licenses for third-party applications and easier to use activity logs, which allows users to see all the things they have posted on Facebook.
The changes come as Facebook overhaul the way it manages information of users. More than half a million users voted on the amendments, with the large majority against them.
In a blog post, acknowledged Facebook that the vote was "the greatest in the history of Facebook," but said that if it did not meet the 30% of users needed to effect change, would the proposed updates adopted with immediate entrance.
They include the opportunity for greater exchange of information on Facebook in the hands of services such as Instagram, getting rid of an institution to determine which users can contact us via e-mail system and the abolition of the process that allowed users to vote on changes in its privacy policy.
Mr. Small believes that Facebook can change handled better.
"I'm not sure, to give users one week to vote was long enough, since many are not on Facebook to go on a weekly basis," he said.
