Social networking giant Facebook has often been at the recieving end due to its privacy policy. One major grouse being the way privacy policy is written and its length. Seems Facebook is eager to change that.
The company has unveiled a draft of its new privacy policy.
In a blog post, the company said, "At Facebook, we are constantly developing new experiences and features to help you control your information.
Some of our recent work includes simplified privacy settings and publisher privacy controls that let you select your audience every time you post something on Facebook. We plan a lot more innovations in the months ahead so check back from time to time."
"However, there is more to controlling your information than just settings. It's also important that you understand how information is used and what your choices are.
That's why the privacy team took on a new project and applied Facebook's unconventional, innovative spirit to develop a new privacy policy written for regular people," stated the blog post.
Acknowledging the criticsm levelled against its privacy policy, the blog says, "Many websites' privacy policies are challenging for people to understand because they are often written for regulators and privacy advocates, not the majority of people who actually use those websites.
Our own privacy policy has been criticized as being "5830 words of legalese" and "longer than the US constitution – without the amendments." Okay, you're right. We agree that privacy policies can and should be more easily understood, and that inspired us to try something different."
According to Web reports, though the substance of the new draft policy appears to be largely similar to that of the old policy, the font is larger, with navigation elements built in.
Where necessary, the policy also is accompanied
