Facebook debuts new privacy settings

Facebook debuts new privacy settings
Scroll Right Scroll Left

Once again, Facebook has changed its privacy settings. Like the last time this happened, Wednesday's improvements are still a mixed bag, but a better one: they are generally easier to use but not as simple as they could be. There are a couple of curve balls thrown in, too. In this screenshot tour, we'll show you what's new, and what to watch out for.

Facebook's new privacy settings replace the wall of text with this more visually pleasing chart. Don't let that fool you, though: there's still more than one page to do all your configuring, and some of it is less obvious than it should be.
