But it means that CNN is using data on who my "friends" are. I don't like that.

This.

Yes, but despite turning all of that to "Friends Only" they still keep adding new Sh*t and making it public by default.
Right. I'm not disagreeing with you.

I went through my FB last night, changed all the new settings and purged groups, apps and anyone I didn't talk to, or whose feed I blocked because their postings/ramblings weren't something I want to read. If FB is going to start making things public I'm going to be a lot more careful of my associations on there. I use FB to keep up with friends in other states and countries first.

The article NA posted was very informative about the changes. They also changed the way applications can store and use your personal data.
