Here's What the New Facebook Privacy Settings Will Look Like

Facebook announced revamped privacy and sharing settings for all users Wednesday morning. The changes will be rolled out from now through the end of the year, but the company shared a sneak peek of the new menu options.

Your Facebook privacy settings -- which previously lived in several different menus -- will be organized under one roof, called Privacy Shortcuts:

A refreshed Activity Log will show a great deal more information about where your personal data, photos and other information spreads across the Facebook social graph:

A new Request Removal Tool will help you ask whoever uploaded those embarrassing photos of you to delete them:

In-context notices will alert you if content you choose to hide from your Facebook Timeline might still appear in news feeds, searches and elsewhere.

Your ability to remove yourself from Facebook search is, however, going away.

"Because of the limited nature of the setting, we removed it for people who weren’t using it, and have built new, contextual tools, along with education about how to use them," reads a Facebook release. "In the coming weeks, we’ll be retiring this setting for the small percentage of people who still have it."

What do you think of the changes?
