Summarise: Facebook is one of the biggest social network that is used by millions of users worldwide, but recently it has been getting complaints about its security and privacy. Therefore, Facebook is clarifying their policy on User Identification Data, because third party companies are not allowed to share the UIDs it collects to ad networks. Facebook modified its policy to forbid UIDs from leaving third-party applications and for such information to remain confidential. Ad networks had to sign a policy deal to make sure that they delete any information they obtain. Any who break this policy get placed on moratoriums, and will be observed, so that they don't do it again. Not only were the small developers effected, but also big companies such as Zynga were also caught transmitting some information.

Would you try a new network? all feb 10 nat

Personally I wouldn't try new networks, unless I have friends there. A lot of my friends are focused on Facebook, and I don't mind sharing my content with people I am friends with, as I usually decline requests from strangers, and are friends with people who I actually know or have mutual friends. However, I wouldn't mind giving Pinterest a go, as I think it sounds interesting, and also it sounds like Tumblr, which I like a lot, because we can share images with people with the same interest.
