Axios reports that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said yesterday that his company - “perpetually on the defensive over privacy issues” - plans to “rebuild its services around several privacy-focused principles: ‘private interactions,’ ‘encryption,’ ‘reducing permanence,’ ‘safety,’ ‘interoperability’ and ‘secure data storage’.”
“I believe the future of communication will increasingly shift to private, encrypted services where people can be confident what they say to each other stays secure and their messages and content won't stick around forever,” Zuckerbeg said. “ This is the future I hope we will help bring about.”

Lots of stated intentions, but not a lot of specifics at this point. The problem is that, at least from where I sit, Facebook seems to say the right thing a lot of time, and then dopes whatever the hell it wants to.
