I mainly use Facebook to keep updated on family and close friends, and don't use anything besides status updates and some photos/videos. I don't see myself changing how I use it based on these latest changes.
Like Google, Facebook and privacy all depend on how you use it, not the tool itself. Also, like anything other 3rd party app, I don't rely on it and would be happy to walk away from it at any point if need be. I currently doing that with Google search using duck duck go.
My big beef is that it becomes a hassle to have to go in and opt-out every time Zuckerberg decides to opt me in to some new information-sharing service that I don't want to be a part of. So yes, you can disable it, but the trend seems to be to make it a convoluted process to disable these things, followed by new "features" in a few months that force me to jump through a few more hoops. It's just become more of a headache than it's worth.
Yes, but I believe there's a "feature" that allows your friends to share your photos and other content without your permission. This is separate from the "feature" that was just helpfully introduced that allows other websites to identify you or whatever the hell it was.
Seriously, I'm finding this Facebook thing more and more of a bother. It's great for connecting with old friends and keeping in touch with family, but if I have to be on edge all the time keeping an eye on the thing to make sure it doesn't breach my privacy then it's just pointless. Everything that affects privacy should be opt-in, not out. But FB can't resist the siren call of those billions of pieces of personally identifiable information they are sitting on.
