> The default is furthermore like you said "whatever your last choice was". Which is bloody annoying. As if some terribly dumb AI is trying to understand what my motive is. If I always post for X, and then make an exception, then I don't want that exception again next time. I'm not sure I agree - if I change a setting, I want it to _stay_ changed (and if it's a one-time change, it's easy enough to change back). Imagine approaching it from the other angle - it's easy to see the headlines "Facebook trying to revert your privacy settings" (especially I imagine more people will be making changes to be more restrictive--from whatever Facebook's defaults are to what they are comfortable with).

Me [generally] too, but I don't post often, so say my last post was to family only, and then a week later I post and I don't check the setting. > it's easy to see the headlines "Facebook trying to revert your privacy settings" Fair enough, thanks for that angle. How about some feedback right after you selected that, that it became default, and that you can revert it? Or is my use-case really that specific? I don't know.
