Facebook introduces Privacy Basics

In light of recent events, such as the Kramer et al study, Facebook is rolling out “Privacy Basics”. These are going to be the TL;DR of the ToS and Privacy Policy of facebook, putting in layman’s terms what facebook really intends to do with your information. As facebook states, these policies will “Help you understand how Facebook Works and How to Control Your Information”. It is not yet known if Facebook will allow users to enhance their privacy or decrease Facebook’s own data access with these new policies, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.
