‘Facebook Is Trying to Be Less Creepy’ – ‘Mashable’
The latest post on ‘Mashable’ is titled “Facebook Is Trying to Be Less Creepy”.
Todd Wasserman says, “For the second time in two weeks, Facebook has made a concerted effort to be less creepy.
Exhibit A: The company’s decision last week to make the default for new users “friends” instead of public. Exhibit B: On Tuesday, Facebook began downplaying passive updates from third party apps. That means there will be fewer instances of updates such as, “Todd is listening to the Starland Vocal Band on Spotify” clogging up your News Feed.
As enhancements go, these are pretty minor — really minor, actually. In the first instance, Facebook could have made much bigger strides against creepiness if it made the friends setting the default for everyone and notified them of this”.
