Are people who post personal pictures and daily status updates online really itching for privacy? The short answer is yes. But Facebook’s new privacy enhancements are falling short. Last Thursday, a coalition of privacy groups asked regulators to look into the new, controversial settings. The complaint, filed by The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), says the features reduce customer control and make users’ pictures, location, gender and friend lists automatically public. Is Facebook private enough? Or should we un-friend it?
