In New Delhi: Social networking website Facebook recently launched new security features to offer greater privacy to users. The move followed criticism regarding its privacy features and their efforts are bound to bring back the faith of its million users in the community.
Facebook software engineer Lev Popov said in an official blog post that it is implementing new tools to protect users from scams. At Facebook, we're constantly working on new ways to protect you from scams and help you keep your account and information secure. Today, we're announcing some new tools and systems designed to keep the bad guys out and keep you abreast of suspicious activity so you can quickly take action to correct it, he said.
He also said that Facebook has built technical systems that operate behind the scenes to quickly detect and block suspicious behavior, delete phony posts and messages, and return compromised accounts to... their rightful owners.
Most of these systems are invisible to the average person who uses Facebook. Very few people will ever experience a security issue on Facebook, which means that most of you have probably never noticed these systems at work. Rest assured that these systems are there, though, protecting you and your friends, he added.
