San Francisco (AFP) - Facebook moved Wednesday to bolster the trust of its more than one billion users by providing new controls on how much information is shared on the world's leading social network.
In a major
shift away from the notion long preached by Facebook co-founder and chief Mark
Zuckerberg of having a single known identity online, people will be able to use
applications anonymously at Facebook.
The social
network also provided a streamlined way for people to control which data
applications can access and began letting people rein in what friends can do
with shared posts at Facebook.
Zuckerberg
announced the changes, along with moves to make Facebook a more stable platform
for applications, at the social network's sold-out f8 developers conference.
"By
giving people more power and control, they are going to trust all the apps we
build more and over time use them more," Zuckerberg told an audience of
about 1,700 conference attendees.
"That
is positive for everyone."
