McAfee has announced the availability of a free public beta of McAfee Social Protection, a new app for Facebook that protects users' photos from being shared without their permission.
This app enables only friends who have been granted access can view photos, but even they are unable to share, copy, print, or take screenshots of them, whereas those that have not been granted access will not be able to view the photos at all.
"As consumers continue to share more of their lives online through the photos they post to Facebook, they become increasingly vulnerable to the privacy pitfalls associated with not being able to fully control where their photos end up. McAfee Social Protection helps to further underscore our commitment to safeguarding consumer’s safety, data and identities online," said Brian Foster, Sr. Vice-President, Consumer Product Management, McAfee.
