Popular social-networking platform Facebook is trying out a simplified version of its privacy policy with an intention to make privacy information more useful for regular users.

However, it should be noted here that Facebook is not altering the terms of its privacy policy. It is only slashing the legal jargon and making the language easier to understand.

Facebook’s existing policy is 5,830 words of legalese. Critics say that the site’s current privacy policy seems to have been written for specialist and regulators rather than for its regular users.

Users of the site had been complaining that the site’s former privacy policy was just impossible to understand without a lawyer.

Speaking on the topic, Facebook said, “We agree that privacy policies can and should be more easily understood, and that inspired us to try something different.”

Facebook says that the newly rolled out test version of its privacy policy features simpler language, easy-to-understand graphics & screenshots, as well as links to videos & interactive tools. If it becomes popular enough, the company may make it official.
