What Facebook should do better is intelligently set defaults. Defaulting On for everyone is stupid. Defaulting On for people who already have privacy settings that indicate they would be ok with it is much better.
- Splines 15y agoI don't mind opt-out, as long as I know it's opt-out. The way FB rolls features out is they do it silently in the background, which is sort of grating. I wouldn't mind at all if there was a one-time "Hey, we made this cool new thing, I'm going to turn it on now, but I'm giving you a chance of not using it if you want" message on my next login.
