In August, we attempted to clear up the confusion with our most comprehensive privacy guide to date: Facebook’s New Privacy Features: A Complete Guide.

Today CNN chose to address the issue live on air, with Mashable's Ben Parr weighing in with advice on using the privacy settings page, blocking your page from Google search, or creating lists of friends with different privacy settings for each group. Parr's final tip: if you don't want your mom to see it, don't post it online.

The segment is a great intro to Facebook's privacy options, and a necessary reminder to those of us well-versed in Facebook's settings page.
