No hiding now: Everyone will be searchable when Facebook drops old privacy setting...

Now it’s not just the NSA that can find you on Facebook.

Facebook Inc. is killing a privacy feature that allows you to go undetected in searches.

Technically, as ReadWrite points out, the Menlo Park company axed this feature last year for anyone who didn’t check a box in their privacy settings. But now users won’t even get the option.

Facebook told ReadWrite that users will see a notification at some point during the next couple weeks, explaining the search shift.

That’s actually a nice change for the social media giant, which tends to make privacy setting changes first and tell its upset and confused users second. Full story...
