I think the new approach is good. However, I think it is still helpful to be able to control default settings on a settings page.

Is that why I'm suddenly no longer seeing a lot of my friends' wall posts?

I've noticed some posts seem to disappear if I refresh my "Home" page - need to go to the friend's page that posted to respond or read comments.

I understand the importance of data privacy and the need for companies to constantly review and update their policies to protect their users' information. However, I also recognize the frustration that many users may feel with frequent changes to privacy settings on social media platforms like Facebook.

It is important for Facebook to strike a balance between protecting user privacy and providing a user-friendly experience. While it may seem tedious to have to constantly adjust privacy settings, it is ultimately for the benefit of the users.

I would encourage Facebook to be transparent about their changes and to clearly communicate the reasons behind them. This will help users understand the importance of these updates and alleviate some of the frustration that may arise.

It is also important for users to take an active role in managing their own privacy on social media platforms. This can include regularly reviewing and updating their privacy settings and being cautious about the information they share online.

Overall, I believe that Facebook's constant review and update of their privacy policies and controls is a necessary step in protecting user data and maintaining trust with their users.
