"People are now comfortable with the idea of sharing more different information, more openly and with more Internet users. (...) The social norm has changed." Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, talked about the changing of the privacy parameters in his social network, and estimated that the 350 millions of site users do not attach as much importance to protection of their personal data as before.
According to the founder of the largest social network in the world, this evolution justifies the modification of the privacy settings of the website, put in place in mid-December, and strongly criticized by privacy advocacy groups. Mark Zuckerberg, who had himself been trapped by change settings on its own personal account, estimated that this website's changes was necessary, and reflected "what would be standards if we launched the website today". "Few companies would dare to change the privacy settings of 350 million of users."
For Mark Zuckerberg, it is mainly the younger generations who have a different notion of what constitutes privacy, and how it must be protected. "The kids were always concerned about the respect of their privacy, it is just what they mean by 'private life' that is very different from what it is for adults", he said. "As adults, we believe that our home is a private space ... For young people, this is not the case. They can not control who enters and leaves their room. For them the on-line world is more private, because they have more control over what is happening there. "
