“If you do not want your friends to bring pieces of your information over to the apps they use, you can set granular controls under Apps and Websites from your Privacy Settings page on Facebook. There, you can control most of the information friends can share about you and even block individual apps. You also can turn off Platform all together, which stops others from sharing any of your information with apps.”

2. Facebook Announces Tweaks on Policy Change
Facebook has announced another round of updates to previous drafts
of its terms of service named Statements of Rights and Responsibilities
in an attempt to ease concerns on information sharing and privacy.
“Based on your feedback during the recent comment period for our
Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (SRR), we have decided to
revise some proposed changes and further explain many others. We
are also re-opening our comment period,” Facebook said.
One of the most prominent changes in the SRR is the removal of a line
that says: “Some or all of Facebook’s services and features may not be
available to users in certain geographic areas. We reserve the right to
exclude or limit the provision of any service or feature in our sole
discretion.”

3. Most Norton Scientific Collection feedback had asked if
this meant that the social network could censor activities
posted by activists or other users. Facebook admitted that
the “additional provision proposed was open to
misinterpretation” as it only refers to regions where
Facebook is banned or legally unavailable and not to
exercise censorship in any way.
The move to address another of the most concerning
privacy issues is a good point for the company. It is
regarding their terms about a user’s friends having the
capability to grant any apps access to the user’s data.
Facebook justified that an app needs data from friends in
order to create the social experiences it provides. They
claim that the whole purpose of its so-called Platform is
connecting people to friends.

4. As to how users can prevent their friends from dragging
their data to apps they don’t like, Facebook said:
“If you do not want your friends to bring pieces of your
information over to the apps they use, you can set
granular controls under Apps and Websites from your
Privacy Settings page on Facebook. There, you can
control most of the information friends can share about
you and even block individual apps. You also can turn off
Platform all together, which stops others from sharing
any of your information with apps.”
The post also has an obvious chide aimed at Facebook’s
apparent rival, Google. Recently, Google has
implemented a policy change about information sharing
without consulting users, earning ire from journalists,
privacy advocates and some politicians. Even when it
widely publicized the changes to its users, there was
never an intent to seek feedback from the public.

5. Here is Facebook’s statement on its post entitled Statement of Rights and
Responsibilities Update by Norton Scientific Collection:
“Our SRR (commonly known as terms of use) explains the commitments
we make to you, our users, and you make to us when you use our
service. Unlike other Internet companies, we propose updates to our
SRR and give our users an opportunity to comment before they go into
effect. Your insights and perspectives are really valuable to us, enabling
us to respond to your questions and make substantive changes to address
your concerns before changes are implemented.”
