Facebook Launches Privacy Controls For Applications

This afternoon Facebook announced a new set of controls which enable users to “personalize the audience for each piece of content [they] share through applications”. The new controls will be displayed when users are prompted to publish information from within applications. While the new privacy settings do not appear to extend to the applications dashboard, this is a step toward giving users more control over information published by apps.

The new settings function the same as they would for the content publisher.
