Facebook
Response
to
Privacy
Groups
Open
Letter
Facebook
won
widespread
praise
from
users
around
the
world
and
the
privacy
community
last
month
for
introducing
simpler
and
more
powerful
controls
for
sharing
personal
information.
We
plan
to
continue
to
make
control
easy
and
effective
for
all
the
people
who
use
our
service
and
will
continue
to
engage
these
groups
and
others
in
a
constructive
dialogue
about
these
important
issues.
Point-By-Point
Responses:
1)
Fix
the
app
gap
by
empowering
users
to
decide
exactly
which
applications
can
access
their
personal
information.
We
have
heard
these
concerns
and
announced
our
intention
to
build
a
new
data
permission
model
last
summer.
Details
were
announced
in
April
and
the
product
is
scheduled
to
launch
to
all
developers
in
the
coming
weeks.
Also,
as
part
of
the
recent
changes,
we
added
a
simple
way
for
people
to
completely
turn
off
Platform
applications
and
websites,
so
that
none
of
their
information
is
ever
shared
with
applications,
even
information
otherwise
available
to
everyone.
2)
Make
instant
personalization
opt-in
by
default.
The
instant
personalization
pilot
program
has
been
widely
misunderstood.
The
only
information
the
three
partners
currently
in
the
program
receive
from
Facebook
is
users
public
information.
This
means
that
our
partners
cannot
access
anything
other
than
the
same
information
that
anyone
could
access
simply
by
going
to
a
Facebook
users
profile.
In
addition,
we've
made
it
easier
for
people
to
turn
off
the
instant
personalization
pilot
program,
which
prevents
those,
and
any
future,
applications
in
the
program
from
accessing
their
information.
We
have
also
imposed
restrictions
on
how
partners
can
use
the
information
they
receive
from
Facebook.
That
information
cannot
be
sold
or
shared
with
others
or
used
in
any
way
other
than
to
improve
the
experience
of
Facebook
users
visiting
their
site.
3)
Do
not
retain
data
about
specific
visitors
to
third
party
sites
that
incorporate
social
plugins
or
the
like
button
unless
the
site
visitor
chooses
to
interact
with
those
tools.
Social
plugins
are
widgets,
and
they
work
the
same
basic
way
all
widgets
across
the
Internet
do.
The
URL
of
the
webpage
the
user
is
viewing
must
be
sent
to
Facebook
for
Facebook
to
know
where
to
render
the
socially
relevant
content.
However,
different
from
many
other
services,
we
only
store
this
information
temporarily
(for
no
more
than
90
days)
solely
for
the
purpose
of
