Facebook's privacy settings are easy to use. So says Facebook's Chief Technology Officer Bret Taylor. The proof? The majority of people on Facebook have modified their privacy settings. Taylor did not specify what percentage of Facebook's users have done so. But that's a big increase from the old stat that Facebook used to trot out that only 15% to 20% of its users had modified their settings.

I would have preffered to see the FCC give a way larger fine to Facebook for all of their "accidents" on privacy!
Facebook settles with the FTC
