Google is
making it easier to manage the security and privacy of a user's account, by bringing everything within the same page. The new
My Account site allows users to manage their Google account's privacy settings, device activity and notifications, and other settings that apply across all Google services. Privacy Checkup and Security Checkup tools also aim to simplify the process, taking users gradually through the account settings. A second site,
privacy.google.com, has been created to explain what Google does with user data, how it is secured, and other similar queries.
Facebook starts sending encrypted emails to users
Facebook is marginally increasing the security of its communications with some of its users, by
encrypting emails. Users will be able to add their public PGP keys to the Contact and Basic Info on their social network profile, which Facebook will use to encrypt all of its outgoing social notifications and other emails to that user.
