Did you read the post? Assuming they're not lying, there are no changes to your existing settings for existing things, but for future posts you'll have better and/or easier control over your privacy settings. This is not FB's usual opt-out fuckup.
Me, I'm cautiously optimistic. Maybe they're learning?
- wccrawford 15y agoYes, I did. I was specifically referencing that you can now opt-out of auto-tagging. You see, they opted me in. Long ago. With no option to opt-out. Now they provide the option, but it is, by default, on the wrong setting for privacy. Just like every other update they've ever rolled out.
- blahedo 15y agoAh, I see. I don't think it's quite the same thing, though, because their previous opt-out problems have been when they actually create a new feature, make it public, and make you opt out to make it less public. This situation is, while not ideal, maintaining the status quo (relative to auto-tagging) but giving you extra controls to make some things less public. Actually, I had thought you could opt out of auto-tagging (but you had to opt out of it), because I remember doing so. Can't find the control right now, though.
