Facebook has once again overhauled its privacy settings to give users easier and more precise control over who views their posts, photos and other contents on the popular social networking site.
The move comes after Google’s new social network, Google+ won plaudits for its privacy controls when it was launched less than two months ago.
The revamped privacy settings will enable users to review a photo in which they have been tagged before it appears online.
At present, the users can add their friends name to a photo on the site without their consent or knowledge.
There will also be a menu for each new update that will let members choose who can see a status update or wall post.
Facebook’s new privacy settings are due to be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks.
Facebook said that the company has “been working on building these updates over the last few months and, as we said a few weeks ago, this is launch season and we’re ready to get it out of the door’’.
