Facebook CEO Zuckerberg announces privacy changes

But Zuckerberg said users have indicated they don’t want all information kept as private as possible, citing the many users that use the site to share their information daily. While he acknowledged the importance of privacy, he didn’t apologize for continuing to propel the trend towards making more information public.

“I think there’s a balance. More and more people want to share information, so as long as they have good controls over that, I think that’s really where the world is going,” he said.

He also indicated that while criticism of Facebook has been more vocal in recent years, it’s partly because the site has millions more users than previously. So, according to Zuckerberg, even a tiny percentage of dissatisfied users can result in a sizable and vocal opposition.
