Speaking of which… are you up to date on privacy policies?

The proposed revisions were drafted by privacy experts and covered the following topics:

  • Viewing and editing your profile
  • Deactivating or deleting your account
  • Limitations on removal
  • Backup copies

He also goes into the revisions that were made for the following sections:

  • Clarification of Current Practices
  • Advertising on Facebook
  • Improving the Quality of Facebook’s Ads

It is very important, that we, as Social Networking users, keep tabs on what the privacy policies are. Sure, it’s easy to always just hit “accept” whenever they ask you if you agree with a document, but shouldn’t we be a little less naive?
