Facing a growing chorus of dissatisfaction from users, pundits, critics, and lawmakers, Facebook is reportedly holding an all hands meeting on to address the company's latest privacy backlash. It's unknown what the social network intends to discuss at its meeting, but the company may consider temporarily suspending its new Instant Personalization feature, according to All Facebook.
The recent backlash and privacy concerns about Facebook began shortly after the company's F8 developer's conference in late April. During the conference's keynote speech, Facebook unveiled a variety of new user features, including the universal Like button and Instant Personalization, a feature that allows a Web site to cater to your personal tastes based on information from your Facebook profile.
The social network also unveiled other features such as the Open Graph API and social plugins, all of which are meant to add a social dimension to your user experience as you visit sites outside of Facebook. When you visit a site like CNN.com, for example, the activity stream plugin can show you a list of actions your Facebook friends have taken on the site such as what articles they have liked or recommended.
