Summary: Facebook is adding a new feature that will give users the ability to block the information they put on their site. It is also giving users the ability to block others; however, it's taking away users ability to hide themselves while they are online.

Relevance: Privacy is always been an issue with Facebook and with the internet as a whole. As technology gets better privacy will become an even bigger issue.

Quote: "The company is eliminating the ability for people to hide themselves on Facebook's search, a control, that until now, has existed in the in the privacy settings on the company's Web site."
