Facebook looks to make a splash with changes designed to simplify and standardize its privacy settings. This comes as a part of the work done by facebook team to make the profiles more searchable over the Web.

Facebook is simplifying its privacy options as, simpler the options, more users are likely to use them. This makes the members to share their contents with ease.

For starters, the company is consolidating about six privacy pages and roughly 40 settings onto one page. The site will also standardize the options for each setting so the choices are identical. In the past, users had to navigate multiple pages if they wanted to change the privacy options for their updates medias links,pictures,videos etc etc. As a result, sometimes content would be shared unintentionally.

Chris Kelly, chief privacy officer for Facebook, said during a news conference July 1.

“We believe that when tools are simple, people are more likely to use them and understand them, We found that too many privacy options may result in users not really appreciating what content they’re sharing and with whom.”
