Privacy Setting for New Facebook Users Aged 13-17 Now Defaults to ‘Friends’ (AllFacebook)
Facebook is changing the initial default privacy setting for users aged 13 through 17 to friends, from friends of friends, but those teen users will still have the option of changing their privacy settings to post publicly, should they wish to do so. Until the social network’s announcement Wednesday, the default privacy setting for new members, regardless of age, was friends of friends, but this will now change for its youngest new members.
