Facebook publishes natural language privacy policy

Posted on December 16, 2009

In November 2009, Facebook responded to privacy concerns by publishing a new, natural language privacy policy. The new policy will first be available for public review and comment, before eventually replacing the current “legalese” version. Last August, Facebook was forced to change its privacy policy, in response to a complaint filed by a Canadian law student with Canada’s Privacy Commissioner. The natural language privacy policy reflects Facebook’s goal to improve “transparency and readability”, according to communications and public policy executive Elliot Schrage.
