I appreciate the information, but this misses the point. Facebook hides privacy settings because privacy is bad for their business objectives, and most people will never bother to dig for these settings, leaving them open to the kinds of attacks demonstrated by the original post.
- hamax 14y ago> Facebook hides privacy settings I have a direct link to privacy settings in the header. I don't know how can they make it more visible.
- beatpanda 14y agoChart me a path from the privacy settings dialog in the header to changing the visibility of individual "likes", such that the average user can prepare to hide from random strangers when Open Graph Search goes public. I dare you.
- josteink 14y ago> Chart me a path from the privacy settings dialog in the header to changing the visibility of individual "likes", And if he manages to do that, ask him to chart one which will be valid 2 months from now. They keep changing that shit. Keeping up to speed is just a completely overwhelming sort of task which even most people who care about privacy wont have the stamina to do.
- redwood 14y agoYes but the settings are complex and counter-intuitive for average users.
- baddox 14y agoOr perhaps because not many people are going to want to individually set the visibility of likes, and displaying it more prominently would be a usability nightmare.
