Facebook privacy app from ReputationDefender changes your settings automatically

If you want a set-it-and-forget-it option for increasing your Facebook privacy, ReputationDefender may have a solution for you. They've launched a new product called PrivacyDefender that shows you a simple diagram of your current settings and changes them for you automatically. PrivacyDefender's default settings tend toward "friends only," while Facebook's still encourage making your info public.

PrivacyDefender is a fast and easy-to-understand way to adjust your Facebook privacy, but it lacks the fine-tuning ability of Facebook's own settings screen. If you have different settings for different groups of friends, or if you're obsessive about your settings, it's worth taking the 10-30 minutes to change your settings manually. Also, does bringing a third party in to handle your privacy settings really help matters? That's just one more company you have to trust to do the right thing.
