AVG launches Facebook® privacy application AVG CrowdControl

September 2013 by Emmanuelle Lamandé

AVG Technologies N.V. announced its first privacy app built on the Facebook API, AVG CrowdControl. The app allows users to manage who sees their default posts for improved privacy without deleting personal contacts.

AVG CrowdControl is designed to make Facebook experiences safer by customizing who can view a status, videos and photos posted on a personal timeline. AVG’s goal is that this will make privacy and online security, a more front-of-mind issue for users. AVG CrowdControl also is integrated directly into AVG PrivacyFix™, launched last week.

AVG CrowdControl scans the user’s Facebook profile and organizes their friends’ based on who they interact with most. Clicking on any friend’s image marks them to be excluded from the custom list.

Once this personalized list has been created, the app takes users to a guided screen showing them how to change the default setting and opens a new tab for them to change it – a simple two-click process. As the app is integrated into users’ Facebook accounts, the list can be easily adjusted and kept up to date as new friends are added. When the user wants to share something more broadly, they can always select all Friends or Public as the audience for a specific post.
