If you are a Facebook user, you have probably noticed the latest changes. But you may not have noticed that with the layout, the privacy settings of Facebook have also changed. Previously, Facebook profile information was visible to friends and your network. Now users have the opportunity to make their information accessible to everyone. This change should not affect privacy settings of existing users, but it can serve as a good reminder to check these settings and make sure that you are in control of who can view your Facebook profile.
