Facebook is expected to announce new streamlined privacy settings for its users during a press briefing on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time. The news comes just a few days after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to introduce “privacy controls that are much simpler to use” for Facebook’s more than 400 million users. Following Wednesday’s announcement, Facebook will hold a briefing on Thursday in Washington, D.C, which will be open to Congress staff interested in learning more about Facebook’s privacy plans.
