Mark Zuckerberg just finished a press conference announcing a new set of privacy controls, where the most important changes seem to be a broader, less granular view that’s persistent through future iterations of privacy controls. In other words, when you make a decision today about what you want to share on Facebook, your settings won’t default to a more or less open setting when the next version of privacy controls are implemented.

The changes should be rolled out the week following Memorial Day.

Fellow SiliconANGLEr, Robert Scoble, sat down with Mark Zuckerberg after the press conference to talk about the changes in a bit more depth.

Some choice Mark Zuckerberg quotes:

Robert: “Why should we trust Facebook?”

Mark: “Because we’re still the best way online to share with your friends and family. There have been no meaningful changes in terms of what data is shared without the user initiating the action.”

Mark: “Every application is better when it’s built around the people you know.”

Mark: “…we wanna make sure that it’s a great service for people, but it’s always been intended to be a development platform. We want to empower developers to build things.”
