Facebook Throws Privacy Advocates a Bone

sarysa writes "In response to a week-long assault by privacy advocates, and following a well publicized all-hands meeting, Facebook has introduced two new security features in response to privacy concerns. One feature allows users to whitelist devices associated with a Facebook account, and the other allows users who verify their identity to view previous logins. While both are useful features, they do nothing to address the recent privacy complaints."

    We don't care what a boyfriend/girlfriend does on facebook.

    Now if they were ours, that would be different - but let's not get into extreme "what if" scenarios here.
