Facebook is getting rid of a privacy
feature that let users limit who can
find them on the social network.
Facebook Inc. said Thursday that it
is removing a setting that controls
whether users could be found when
people type their name into the
website's search bar.
Facebook says only a single-digit
percentage of the nearly 1.2 billion
people on its network were using the
setting.
The change comes as Facebook is
building out its search feature,
which people often use to find
people they know or want to know
on the site.
Facebook, which is based in Menlo
Park, Calif., says users can protect
their privacy by limiting the
audience for each thing they post
about themselves.
