For All Of You Privacy/FaceBook Debaters... Interesting Info/Graphic...
Visual Guide To Facebook's Privacy Changes Over Time (PICTURES)

Matt McKeon has created a visualization of the "Evolution of Privacy on Facebook" that helps capture how the site's privacy protections have changed.

McKeon explains his inspiration for the visual timeline:

Facebook hasn't always managed its users' data well. In the beginning, it restricted the visibility of a user's personal information to just their friends and their "network" (college or school). Over the past couple of years, the default privacy settings for a Facebook user's personal information have become more and more permissive. They've also changed how your personal information is classified several times, sometimes in a manner that has been confusing for their users. This has largely been part of Facebook's effort to correlate, publish, and monetize their social graph: a massive database of entities and links that covers everything from where you live to the movies you like and the people you trust.


Here's a comparison of how Facebook's privacy has evolved since 2005. See the graphics for other years, and the complete evolution, here.
