Remains of The Day: Facebook Home Raises Privacy Concerns

Facebook addresses user concern over Facebook home, a Feedly update fixes the RSS reader's login bug, and Microsoft may unveil the next Xbox in May.

• Answering Your Questions on Home and Privacy Like most things Facebook does, it's forthcoming Home Screen/Android Launcher Facebook Home has been met with much concern over how private the new application would be. Today Facebook responded, reassuring users that the app can be turned off/uninstalled and, like other Facebook apps, collects information on how you interact with it. Due to it's nature as a home/lock screen replacement, this means that while the type of information Facebook Home gleans from you isn't very different, the quantity of information could potentially be much higher. A very janky, pre-release version of Facebook Home leaked earlier this morning, but seems to have since been taken offline. [Facebook Newsroom]
