Facebook question from non-user...


Did Facebook recently (within last couple of weeks) change its privacy defaults?

I used to be able to view "public" facebook pages, such as the local animal shelter. I couldn't go "deep" inside them, but could see their home pages, news, missing critters, found critters, etc.

Suddenly, within the last 2 weeks, it switches to a "log in" page and won't let me see the once "public" pages. I checked a number of different shelters I commonly peruse and the same thing happened across all of them.

But I was just able to view a video on a public Facebook page for a news organization.

So I'm wondering if they changed the default and some overly busy organizations aren't aware of it, so their once public pages are no longer available to non-facebookers? It seems unlikely that a number of shelters suddenly, simultaneously turned off public viewing for missing and found critters, upcoming events, adoptions specials, etc...

Deep inside them? Paging the colecountyperv.

Maybe they just don't want to be infected or violated by the DUmmieland inhabitants.

Proving once again, that the simplest explanation is the most likely one . . . :whistling:
