Not only have we lost the capacity to hide our friend list, which most people know about and have complained, but whenever we like a status, comment on a picture or status, become a fan, member of a group etc, this is posted on our wall, and on the news feed of all our friends. Even if you manually delete each post from your wall, it remains visible to our friends (or to everyone, depending on your settings). This not only goes against MY privacy, but that of my friends. I commented on a photo, and ALL my friends can see my comment, and said photo. Who says my friend wants to share this photo with my friends? Total disregard to privacy.

I had a very terrifying experience with a stalker a couple years ago (it was someone i knew) and I'm terrified that I no longer have control over my friends list privacy. All someone has to do is click through my friends list and find out all sorts of information about me through their profiles. Agh, this is awful.

The loss of users doesn't concern Facebook at all, nor does the safety or privacy of those who stay. The growth they predicted from these changes outweighed the decrease of users they planned on anyway. Greedy, negligent, sociopathic in their severely unethical business practices, these guys running the show should suffer the consequences, severely. They've been warned before, but their arrogance and reckless disregard for rules and ethics allowed them to continue on their path of corruption. They didn't appreciate any of the pardons to past transgressions, and they're completely confident that they'll get away with this HUGE violation as well. I hope the FTC hands them the severe reality check they truly deserve.

It’s unsettling. Either I turn off “add requests” completely so no one can add me or find me (which you shouldn’t have to do) or I change my profile picture to something that is not me (which supposedly is fraud, according to facebook) or I keep it up with my face and my add settings and continue to get adds from strange men. I really don’t appreciate it nor do I appreciate that just anyone can see my profile picture.

Not only that but Facebook did not clearly explain their new settings. When the new settings came up, I opted for “keep my old settings,” but despite this I found that ALL my profile pictures were available to EVERYONE and that my albums were ready for clicking by “friends of friends.” Before this setting simply meant that your friends’ friends could see the photos that they were tagged in and perhaps if they clicked on “view” album they could go through all the photos. However you go not simply go to someones page and so obviously have all the users albums ready for the picking.

I had to go through all my settings and change things, and I have seen many people who had their profile picture’s hidden now have them available for everyone..because they most likely do not realize that Facebook more or less…tricked us. Ugh, just as above, if they don’t change things, I’m fairly certain they’re going to lose a lot of users.

The previous privacy option, I’m sure is what enticed many public figures to use facebook…and now they can no longer hide their accounts or faces.

Maybe they are listening?? It's a good start.. keep giving the user's that need privacy control.. complete control.

Past, present and future needs consideration. Past terms and conditions under which content was published. Present changes that expose existing content with only a warning to those that happen to actually log on. Future exposure when things like Google Goggle become reality and some weirdo at the local convenience store takes a pic of your gf then uses Google Goggle to look her up on Facebook and extract more intimate knowledge based on her friends, friend’s friends, pages and all the above that may be exposed beyond the direct target.
