Facebook has publicized on its official blog that they will be rolling out some new security and privacy control features in the upcoming days which would solve the privacy problems being faced by Facebook users. According to the security experts Facebook’s privacy features are a positive step from the social networking giant and will defiantly make the completion between it and Google plus more tight.
Actually one of the main reasons why Google Plus flourished was the presence security loopholes in Facebook. Facebook users were continuously under the fear of loosing there Facebook accounts due to hacker attacks. And that’s why they sifted to Google Plus as it looked more reliable and safer. And being a Google product was another big advantage for Google Plus. But now Facebook has came up with a bang by bringing in some new security features that can make the Facebook security tighter.
According to Marian Merritt, Internet safety advocate with Symantec’s Norton “It seems to reflect some of what people have been asking for. The issues of privacy and of control over your data are a growing concern and consumers are paying more attention to them. However, the changes haven’t been rolled out yet, so I don’t know how hard they will be to configure. I’m pleased, but until I can start using them it’s all conjecture”.
Some of the new features which Facebook has added seems to have been be borrowed form Google plus. For instance, the choice of sharing posts with ‘Public’ or ’Friends’ and the convenience of deeper privacy controls on profile information is much like what Google+ has come up with.
As these privacy controls are not out yet so it’s quiet impossible to predict what impact it will have on the Facebook and more importantly on Google plus.
