Facebook intends to revamp its controversial privacy settings within the next few days, Channel 4's Benjamin Cohen
reports.
The company has been under
fire from a growing roster of critics since late last year, when Facebook changed its default settings to share-everything-with-everyone. Last month, Facebook drew even more fire for rolling out
several new features, including "instant personalization," which automatically shares users' data with the outside companies Yelp, Pandora and Microsoft Docs.
Sen. Chuck Schumer complained
about the changes, as did E.U. privacy officials and privacy advocates.
