Facebook's Proposed Policy Changes

Facebook is proposing a number of changes to its policies. The foremost of concern is that, due to a recent court settlement, Facebook proposes to let you opt-out of "Sponsored Stories" that include your information due to you clicking the "Like" button inside or outside of the site. Your permission would now be part of agreeing to use Facebook right from the beginning (this is why I don't "Like" anything for Facebook purposes).

An additional proposal regards third party data retention.

This is a link to the Techcrunch article discussing the changes:
