Facebook recently began rolling out its Timeline feature, which will replace the social networking site’s traditional user profile. Everything ever posted on a user’s page will be included in Timeline. Members have seven days to review everything that appears on their Timelines before anyone else can see them, and Facebook lets them mark which items they want to keep private. However, the feature has raised concerns that it might breach users’ privacy because Facebook will upgrade everyone to Timeline — whether or not they opt for it.
