    Facebook updates privacy

    Facebook is trying to be a better friend to its users by helping them guard their privacy more closely.

    In the upcoming weeks, the social networking behemoth will simplify its privacy controls. Facebook will combine and condense the steps it takes for users to limit access to pictures, notes and other posts.

    It also will do away with regional network settings — too many members use them.

    The networks, a means of organizing people by geography, schools and other affiliations, were sensible in Facebook’s infancy five years ago, when users consisted exclusively of college students sharing content with others at their schools.

    More recently, sharing information with a regional network, such as “New York, NY” would allow millions of “friends” to see what you’re up to.
