Facebook has promised its users simpler privacy settings numerous times over the last week or so and the company announced these new controls at TechCunch's Disrupt conference this afternoon.

If only I had friends on facebook, I could use these new settings meaningfully =/

I wonder how long it will take before users complain about THIS, too.

If they didn't keep stuffing it up people would have no reason to complain.

I like it a whole lot. Seriously, going through 50 different settings clicking "Friends Only" over and over again is a pain, and even then I feel like there's a setting or two missing that I can't hide.

Same with turning off those blasted email notifications.

I'm sure I'll get marked down, but honestly, it took me ~4 minutes to configure my privacy settings properly when they were reset. I don't see everyone's big deal with new system. Then again, I'm usually the one fixing other people's computers, so I guess I'm above average.

join the club. everyone has a whinge, but really its not that bad if u dont want randoms reading ur private stuff

the best privacy setting would be the user themselves not posting anything they dont want people to see online. Then again good to see a simpler setting since most users i know dont even know how the old ones work (they just assume everything is fixed)

The best setting would be to close down that entire site.

man now it might be harder to look at peoples profiles i dont know for fun.

Burn it to the ground!

They could make the controls as simple as an on-off switch (share nothing or share everything) and somebody is still going to be posting their new cell phone number--or even crazier--their ADDRESS in a status update and somebody random will pop up calling them.
