Facebook questions itself about the members’ security.

The European Union already tried to edict some rules to protect users. Facebook decides to organize the data management and delete the six pages and 40 configuration’s possibilities to manage its personal data.

Now users can have a clear vision of their protection, a simplification appreciated. Protecting confidential information will be easier to manage and check. Facebook launches series of tests in this sense and will give some tools to the users.

The 200 millions of members can control their accounts. You can choose your secret information and decide to share some data with a specific group. Facebook tries to replace twitter its main competitor.

The transition will be soft to handle by users. You will choose your “open’s level” thanks to a transition manager. This new security must lead to increase in membership and in consequence rising advertisement incomes.

These measures raise a debate between users. Some people approve these improvements and don’t be more worried. The others don’t understand: the principle of Facebook is to divulge the most information as possible. For them, new rules contradict Facebook’s essence. We may see soon the birth of new groups?
