Facebook

Facebook is launching new new tools to protect your profile and stop someone using your photo to setup a fake profile.

The company has announced that they are giving people more control over who they allow to download and share their profile pictures.

Part of our goal in building global community is understanding the needs of people who use Facebook in specific countries and how we can better serve them. In India, we’ve heard that people want more control over their profile pictures, and we’ve been working over the past year to understand how we can help.

Today, we are piloting new tools that give people in India more control over who can download and share their profile pictures. In addition, we’re exploring ways people can more easily add designs to profile pictures, which our research has shown helpful in deterring misuse. Based on what we learn from our experience in India, we hope to expand to other countries soon

You can find out more details about these new tools from Facebook at the link below, the tools are launching in India first and will then head to more countries later on.
