Facebook has reached an agreement with the US Federal Trade Commission on how it deals with the privacy of its users, although a blog post by CEO Mark Zuckerberg paints the deal as merely cementing what Facebook has already been doing on this front.
“Overall, I think we have a good history of providing transparency and control over who can see your information,” he writes. “That said, I’m the first to admit that we’ve made a bunch of mistakes.
