What began as less than 1,000 words in 2004, Facebook’s privacy policy is now longer than the U.S. Constitution (Cowan, 2010). The policy was last revised October 5, 2010 and is currently broken down into nine sections to help its users better understand how the social networking site uses their information. Within the policy, Facebook offers links back to the personal privacy settings page, where users can go in and make edits after learning what the policy entails. This is important for the average user to know so they can control their privacy settings. According to Veer (2010), “Facebook assumes you want the whole world to see your personal info until you tell it differently. Your information is at risk until you adjust your settings” (p. 209).
