They absolutely did not "reveal new security settings" – they revamped the security settings menu & page. From the article:
> Facebook announced on Wednesday that it’s redesigning the settings menu on mobile devices, consolidating privacy options in one place, rather than sending users to some 20 different screens
There is no indication in the article that they are allowing users more control over their data, and fb remain free to do what they will with your data once you sign up for their service.
This does nothing to resolve the problem that people are up in arms about:
> Under the revamp, users still won’t be able to delete data that they had given third-party apps on the platform previously, even if it was used for reasons other than what was agreed to. That data, generated over years of games and personality quizzes that had access to private information, is largely still stored outside of Facebook’s grasp by the private individuals and companies that built those applications.

- lambda_lover 9y agoIt's pathetic to see a slight decrease in dark UX referred to as "new security settings". Oh, so they moved some stuff around in the settings menu? Call me back when they actually give you a link to delete your profile (seriously, there is none in the settings. There's only "deactivate" and "delete your profile after you die" -- even though both of those appear in a "delete" section. "New Security Settings" implies that I'm given options I didn't have before. That does not seem to be the case here.
