Facebook has announced an "interactive" security policy

In one of the latest announcements, the Facebook administration announced quite interesting changes in its security policy. Rather, these changes are not so much in the rules themselves as in the way of providing information to the user about his security settings. According to the administration, the latest changes make it possible to better understand what Facebook’s security policy is and to more effectively manage the settings for this security.

So, along with a huge amount of black letters on a white background, the user now receives an interactive tool for managing their own security settings inside Facebook. In particular, one of the widgets allows you to check how the user's personal information is involved in various advertising campaigns. For example, you can check what personal information an advertiser can get. According to the administration of the service, the changes will help users to get a more accurate picture of the various concepts of Facebook's security policy.

Recently, Facebook has been paying close attention to the development of the concept of a resource’s security policy, since quite a lot of users have criticized the resource for poor compliance with user interests. Facebook was criticized by both US senators and representatives of several other countries, mainly by publishing open letters to the service’s management. It is clear that Facebook, with its hundreds of millions of users, has to spend more and more time working with the user’s security policy, making the rules more reliable and more understandable for ordinary users. How effective the attempts of the administration of the social network are is another question.

For example, in January this year, the administration made available to advertisers information such as addresses and phone numbers of users. After receiving hundreds of thousands of critical comments, this rule was urgently revised.
