Facebook security changes
New changes for sharing posts, videos, photos on Facebook platform gives more freedom to users. Now they can control who can see their posts at the time they share them. Also, Facebook said that they are broadening the functionality of the sharing tool - now users can add location and tag the people in posts.

* Inline controls
The control for who can see each post will be right inline. For each audience, there is now an icon and label to help make it easier to understand and decide whom you're sharing with. Also, when you tag someone, the audience label will automatically update to show that the person tagged and their friends can see the post.

* Word Change: 'Everyone' to 'Public'
Facebook is changing the name of this label from Everyone to Public so that the control is more descriptive of behavior: anyone may see it, but not everyone will see it. This is just to make the setting more clear, and it's just a language change.

* Change Your Mind After You Post?
Now you'll be able to change who can see any post after the fact. If you accidentally posted something to the wrong group, or changed your mind, you can adjust it with the inline control at any time.

* Tag Who You're With, or What You Want to Talk About
You can add tags of your friends or anyone else on Facebook. If you are ever tagged by a non-friend, it won't appear on your profile unless you review and approve the post.

* Tag Locations in Posts
Now you can add location to anything. Lots of people use Facebook to talk about where they are, have been or want to go.

* Remove Tags or Content from Facebook
Your options for removing tags or content on Facebook are presented more clearly. Your options are: removing from your profile, removing the tag itself, messaging the photo owner or tagger, and requesting the content get taken down.
