Facebook current privacy issue made clear

Facebook privacy









































IssueBrief descriptionSeverityWhy this is severe
BugsSome privacy options don’t work as they’re supposed toHighJust when you are so certain you have setup the proper privacy protection, your profile and activities burst and your private information is exposed.
Version controlWhen Facebook upgrades functions or migrates data, certain functions are temporarily reverted back to the old version. One that occurred to my account was Live Feed Options.LowYou thought you have moved on with newer and more interesting things, but suddenly something reverts back to what it was.
Default settingsNew information or information in sections that are changed by Facebook are, by default, visible to “Everyone”.e.g. Likes and Interests May 2010MediumIt takes users a while to figure out how to set privacy for these sections.
Lack of settingsCertain settings are not provided.

e.g. Pages I am a fan of

MediumYou can’t put control on the items you want.
Changing settingsWhen Facebook upgrade certain features, privacy options related to that feature are sometimes lost.

e.g. Option to set for newsfeed not to display comment one writes on his/her friend’s content. I used to set it, and couldn’t find it again.

MediumI am confused.
