This is great, but two things that I would really like to know about my privacy on Facebook are 1) which photos I'm tagged in that are publicly visible (even if I have elected not to display tagged photos to friends), and 2) which wall posts are accidentally tagged as everyone.
Those photos are indexed by Google and contain my name, even if I have chosen not to share photos I've been tagged in. I want to be able to see the list of public ones so that I can manually untag myself. Similarly, it would take too long for someone with thousands of wall posts to find the ones that might have accidentally been set to "everyone".
I think that it might have been better to wait until these were included before officially launching the tool, because the photo issue affects almost everyone on Facebook, and if people use this tool and everything checks out ok, they probably won't return again if you update it later.
- mjpizz 16y agoI completely agree with you about photo privacy, and I was hoping to keep it soft-launched while I added photo and wall-post privacy checks (my free time is limited). Lifehacker and RWW wrote about it this morning though, so not much of a choice. Facebook is constantly changing this stuff though, so I'm hoping that the Facebook page and Twitter announcements will keep people up-to-date and re-running new privacy checks. Source code is open, think you might have free time to help add some of those checks in tonight? http://github.com/mjpizz/reclaimprivacy http://github.com/mjpizz/reclaimprivacy
- jakarta 16y agoAwesome job -- I think this will be a great service when you add photo privacy checks. Among my friends, that is usually their biggest concern.
