Due to privacy concerns for many people and had the will to take more control who and where he can see the information of each user, Mark Zuckerberg in honor of the achievement of a ' audience of 350 million users of Facebook, has decided to make some small changes to big social network of the world's most populous.
Here is a copy of the letter sent by Mr. Zuckerberg to all Facebook users:
All users of Facebook,
this was a great year, which has made the world more open and connected. With your help, more than 350 million people worldwide now use Facebook to share their lives online.
To make this possible, we have done our best to provide you with the tools to share and manage your information. The first version of Facebook, launched five years ago, already contained tools to control what you share and with whom, individuals or groups. Our work in this direction continues today.
The current model of privacy on Facebook, which gravitates around "networks" - community, school, business or geographical - worked fine when Facebook was used mainly by students, because it was reasonable to assume that a student wanted to share content with their peers.
By the time , users have asked us to add geographic and corporate networks, so that today there are networks that cover entire nations, like India and China.
With the growth of user base of Facebook, some wide area networks count Today millions of members. With such large networks, we concluded that the current model is no longer the best way to allow users to control their privacy. Given that almost 50% of all Facebook users is a member of wide area networks, this is for us a very important matter. A better system would allow then to over 100 million people to have greater control over their information.
Our plan provides for the elimination of wide area networks and the creation of a simplified model for the control of privacy, where everyone can decide who to make content available: only friends, friends of friends, or all users.
This change responds to a need that many of you have expressed - the ability to control who can view each piece of information created or uploaded by users. At the same time we make another wish: to make it easier on the privacy settings page, through a combination of settings. If you want to know more, we started discuss this project in July.
Given that the upgrade will eliminate the wide area networks and introduce new settings, in the coming weeks we will ask you to review and update your privacy settings. You will see a message that explains the changes and take you to the page where you can update your settings. Once the update is complete, you will be redirected to a confirmation page so that you can verify that you have selected the desired settings. As always, you'll have the opportunity to change at any time.
We have worked hard to provide the control functions that best meet your needs, knowing that they vary from person to person. We will suggest new approaches relying on your current level of privacy, but the best way to find quelle più adatte a voi è prendere visione di tutte le opzioni a disposizione e personalizzarle. Vi consiglio di farlo e di valutare attentamente con chi volete condividere i vostri contenuti online.
Grazie per aver contribuito a fare di Facebook quello che è oggi e per collaborare a rendere il mondo più aperto e connesso.
Mark Zuckerberg
