After being criticized by the European Union for privacy matters and seeing waves of users looking to leave the site, Facebook held an emergency meeting to address the issues. Today, Facebook unveiled a new Safety Center, which includes security features such as login notifications and blocking suspicious logins.
“There’s no single answer to making the Internet or Facebook safer,” says said Elliot Schrage, Vice-President of Global Communications and Public Policy at Facebook. “That’s why we re introducing new tools and advice for parents, educators and teens. We want our approach for improving safety to be as simple, easy and effective as our approach to improving Facebook’s user experience. Our Safety Advisory Board has been a tremendous resource in developing this next generation of safety resources and offering us ideas for new initiatives. Going forward, you’ll see even more powerful – and simpler – safety innovations coming from Facebook.”
