Facebook's Timeline feature has been a focus of controversy since it was announced by company CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the company's f8 developers' conference last month in San Francisco.

A coalition of 10 privacy and consumer groups has written to the Federal Trade Commission pointing out the security and privacy risks posed by Facebook features like Timeline.
