This morning I woke up to a message from Facebook, just like users all over the country. Facebook us updating their terms, conditions, and policies coming up on January 1st 2015. Here's what we know so far: 

Privacy Basics

Privacy Basics appears to let you control your information on Facebook.

For example, you can learn about untagging, unfriending, blocking and how to choose an audience for each of your posts. This information is available in 36 languages.

 

Discover What's Going On Around You

Facebook will start showing you relevant info based on where you are, and what your friends are up too. This feature is similar to "Nearby Friends".

For example, in the future, if you decide to share where you are, you might see menus from restaurants nearby or updates from friends in the area."

 

Find Privacy Info Faster

Find information about privacy a little easier than you have in the past.

Our data policy is shorter and clearer, making it easier to read."

 

Understanding What Facebook Is TAKING From You

Facebook has been under the microscope of the media this past year for in a way, invading your privacy. This new feature will help you "understand" how Facebook uses the info they receive from you.

For example, understanding battery and signal strength helps make sure our apps work well on your device. We ask for permission to use your phone's location when we offer optional features like check-ins or adding your location to posts."

 

Giving You More Control Over Ads

It appears users will have more control over ALL the advertising they see from brands, and paid ads on Facebook.

We know that many people use more than one phone, tablet or browser to access Facebook, so it should be easy for you to make a single choice that applies across all of your devices."

 

You can read the full Policy update from Facebook. These new effects will take place starting in 2015.
