Curious if you lost privacy with the new Facebook privacy settings...

Asked by rexpresso (922points) December 18th, 2009

I note that my Like’s to stuff from others, from links to status updates etc., are starting to show up on my news feed and I had previously disabled that info showing up on my news feed. But now I don’t have that possibility anymore, it seems. Are you experiencing the same annoyance? Thanks

I don’t get what you mean mate? Your settings have changed since the last update? Because i’m not having that problem.

I had something pop up when the new settings went into effect, so I could review my settings & change them.

Ever since they made the last change, facebook has been different.

I hate when they switch stuff up all the time right when I get use to it.

My newsfeeds and such show up from like two to three days ago when I know for a fact more recent “happenings” have been.. well… happening.

It’s very annoying.

But to answer your question.. I don’t feel my privacy has been an issue.

One of the things I don’t like about the new privacy settings on Facebook is that I can’t hide my friends’ list on there anymore. While this might seem like it’s not a big deal for other people, it is for me. I didn’t like people telling me that I have too many contacts on my Facebook list. It’s none of their business and I don’t add/accept people to be popular on Facebook. I add/accept people because I want to. I liked how before I could make an “Everyone” list and just block everyone from seeing this. Now, though? Nope. Facebook has decided that it’s everyone you’ve added to Facebook’s business who you’ve added. If it was any other site, it wouldn’t matter to me so much. Anyway, I should give credit to Facebook, though, because they have many privacy settings that I use that other websites do not have.

I don’t know about Facebook but I lost mine as a teenager.

OK, maybe I’m thinking of something else..
