So, my experience was the complete opposite to his. Had Facebook not forced me to view my privacy settings, I probably never would have. The settings they suggested were quite conservative and I definitely didn't feel as if they were trying to trick me into picking any particular privacy preference. At the end of it, I was actually appreciative of them.
How else would you have handled it? I think the way they dealt with it was the most upfront way. They couldn't have been more straightforward. It was in your face, and if you're the one who decided to skip over the privacy options they were making ridiculously accessible, then it's your fault.
- iamwil 17y agoYeah, I've found it pretty easy and not confusing at all. Not only that, you can view what your profile looks like to different people.
- jsz0 17y agoSame here. It seems pretty straight forward to me. There is a reminder about privacy settings after you're prompted the first time in case you've changed your mind or rushed through it the fist time not fully understanding the implications.
- wglb 17y agoEr, not for me. everything was going to be totally public unless i went through and reset them to where I wanted to. And you have to dig in a non-obvious place for photo privacy settings. I agree with TFA.
- viraptor 17y agoApparently not all users had the same default choices... I don't know what the reason was (A/B testing? trying to get unbiased statistics?), but my girlfriend had all the default choices in the right column (leave the old behaviour), while I got the defaults on the left (new behaviour - "friends of friends" and "everyone").
