Facebook announced this week that it will debut a central hub for users to better control access to their security settings and privacy. The move comes amid heightening scrutiny of the social networking site over how it has handled people’s data.
"Instead of having settings spread across nearly 20 different screens, they're now accessible from a single place," Facebook said in a news release Wednesday. We've also cleaned up outdated settings so it's clear what information can and can't be shared with apps."

Users can expect the changes, which will include a new Privacy Shortcuts menu, to appear in the coming weeks. Facebook promises the experience will be “clearer, more visual, and easy-to-find,” according to the release, which was penned by Erin Egan, Facebook’s chief privacy officer and Ashlie Beringer, the network’s deputy general counsel.
