Facebook has initiated a privacy education tour for all of its new users to guide them with a step-by-step instruction procedure making them learn about Facebook's various security settings and tools.

Since sometime, the popular networking site has been facing several criticism over its constantly changing settings, which has somewhat forced the website to take such actions.

The second reason that prompted the company to start the privacy education tour was last year's audit that was run by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner's Office to check Facebook's compliance with Irish and European Union privacy laws (as the international division of facebook is located in Ireland). The audit recommended the company to make available all the links to privacy policies to all the people during their registration when they sign up as a new member.

According to the reports, the new privacy education tour will help the new members to the website with a step-by-step procedure if they prefer to change their settings for various levels of privacy.

Users will be given all the explanation of games, apps, and advertisements along with the information of how to find friends, how to tag photos, etc.

Regarding the situation, Mr. Erin Egan, Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer said, "At Facebook, we're committed to making sure people understand how to control what they share and with whom".
