"The biggest difference is ease of access in settings, which fulfills Mark Zuckerberg's promise to make the privacy process and permissions more transparent to users", Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said.
Facebook shares are down almost 18 percent since March 16, when it first acknowledged that user data had been improperly channelled to Cambridge Analytica, eating away almost $100 billion of the company's market value. "We have been faced with the only alternative being to alter Playboy's voice in order to meet Facebook's views of what is and is not appropriate on its platform", declared the company.
There's word on the street that Mark Zuckerberg has agreed to testify before Congress about the way Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) manages its user data despite shunning a similar request from the British parliamentary committee.
Facebook also said it plans to update its privacy policy and terms of service in the coming weeks, but gave no further details.
Now the mobs are howling after Facebook, Mr. Zuckerberg's creature.
"That is a costly model".

"We are disappointed that the New Zealand privacy commissioner asked us to provide access to a year's worth of private data belonging to several people and then criticised us for protecting their privacy."
Facebook Inc is giving users more control over their privacy by making data management easier and redesigning the settings menu, the company said on Wednesday, in the wake of a scandal over a breach that exposed the personal information of millions and was allegedly used by a political consultancy.
Bazarova said the best way to protect social media users was through public education and awareness-raising.
Graham Mudd, a product marketing director at Facebook, said: "While this is common industry practice, we believe this step, winding down over the next six months will help improve privacy on Facebook". "Users need to be aware that when it comes to the internet, there's no free lunch", she said.
According to HV Jagadish, a professor of computer science and engineering and expert on ethics in computer science, the solution lies in developing ethical principles regarding the analysis and use of data. The move will see more than 25 million fans deprived of their Playboy chosen pages when they next visit Facebook.
"There's been various speculation about the fact that Facebook can, through the Facebook app on your smartphone, listen in to what people are talking about and discussing and using that to prioritize the advertising as well", Collins said.
Ovadya, a Knight News Innovation Fellow at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University, sounded the alarm about the vulnerability of social media platforms to propaganda and misinformation from foreign governments.
