Are you suffering from CFF - Chronic Facebook Fatigue? The mental and bodily malaise that comes from constant tweaking of privacy options in the Land of the Face?

Fear not, for the most recent round of changes, announced today, carry some good privacy tidings, including privacy shortcuts from the main page drop-down menu, plus a new Request Removal tool for managing multiple photos in which you have been tagged.

The changes will begin rolling out at the end of the year.

Facebook is also adding in-context educational notices throughout its platform to help make it easier to understand how to control your sharing.

For example, a reminder may inform users how items hidden on their timelines can still appear in news feeds, in searches, and in other places.

The best privacy to Facebook is not to have an account.

True, but if you don't have one in the first place you won't have to worry.

Facebook says, 'Privacy is theft' because they're selling your lack of privacy to the advertisers who might show up one day :D
