Today, Facebook has decided to address some key concerns with its privacy policy. Previously, users would complain that the Facebook privacy policy was just a huge block of text with too many legal terms that they could not understand. Now, Facebook has decided to implement a new look and feel that will hopefully allow regular users to comprehend what the policy is stating and that will be easier to navigate.

In a statement, the company said that the problem with many websites' privacy policies is that they are written for privacy advocates and regulators and not for the people that actually use the website. Facebook hopes to change that with its new layout which promises to be easier to read and understand, to be visual and interactive, and to focus on questions that Facebook users are most likely to ask.

Facebook is confident it will change the view of users who have once called their privacy policy "'5830 words of legalese' and 'longer than the U.S. constitution – without the amendments.'"
