Facebook eases privacy settings with launch of new page 'Privacy Basics'

Facebook is reportedly working on simplifying its privacy settings. The social network site added a new Web page called 'Privacy Basics' with interactive tips and guides on how to control ones information on the site, CNET reports.

The page reportedly has the same privacy settings as before, but in a bigger font size. Users can scroll through the guide to learn about each privacy setting.

Facebook has also launched a Yelp-like service called "Places" that shows users what friends and strangers have posted publicly about restaurants and other venues, the report added.
