Submission Text
My main concern is the fact that each time Facebook makes changes, the user is forced to 'opt out' of the relaxed privacy settings that Facebook has taken upon themselves to put into place. It becomes a very time consuming job to try to determine just exactly what has changed and just exactly what needs to be done to counteract the changes to neutralize them and therefore restore one's intended level of privacy. Ideally, the privacy settings that one has made should continue to the level that the individual has prescribed.
