Privacy Changes to Facebook and How to Fix Them...



Facebook privacy is a growing concern of many of its users, including us, and we go to great lengths to stand up for the rights of people we represent. So, when a service used by nearly everyone changes their policies regarding user's private data, we feel obligated to share any information that could protect you.

According to Senator Al Franken's website,

"Basically, Facebook now shares your personal information with third parties (Microsoft, Yelp, and Pandora so far) automatically. If you don’t want Facebook to share your information you need to opt-out of the “Instant Personalization Program”.


So, if you use Facebook, and you don't want your personal information shared without your permission, you may need to check your account settings.

Here is a link to Sen. Franken's website with instructions on how to change your Facebook settings. We want to thank Sen. Franken for bringing this to our attention.
