Last week, Facebook announced changes affecting its 1 billion-plus users. The social network plans to share more of users’ data with affiliates like Instagram, and change how users manage their messages. Now two consumer watchdogs are demanding Facebook stop its proposed changes, claiming they’re infringing on users’ rights. How will these changes affect you? And what does it say about larger online privacy issues?

Guests:

Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and professor at Georgetown University Law Center

Kara Swisher, co-executive editor of All Things Digital, a website devoted to news, analysis and opinion on technology, the Internet and media

Laura Sydell, digital culture correspondent for NPR
