Mark Zuckerberg announced today that Facebook would be implementing more ways for family to annoy you on Facebook.
Less tech savvy Facebook users have complained that its too easy for their family members to avoid them on the site. Weve listened and will be making changes, so that cant happen any more, said Zuckerberg.
Im proud to report we had a 58% increase in reports of annoying family members on Facebook, and I expect even more with the new tools well be implementing in the next quarter, said Zuckerberg.
Facebook will be implementing a new relation-checking algorithm can determine whether any two people on Facebook are related with up to 98% accuracy just by analyzing profile information, Social Security number and genetic samples gathered from your touchpad or touchscreen.
Another tweak will give parents the ability to ignore any privacy control settings by their children, regardless of how old the children are. Your 20 year old daughter doesnt want you to see pictures of her acting wild at a party? Theres no way shell be able to prevent that, said Zuckerberg.
Dont think its just parents who will be able to annoy more. Cousins, aunts, uncles, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and any other relative within five degrees of familial relationship will be given access to these tools.
Another useful features will be the Family Auto-Invite for all events created by users, said Zuckerberg. We know you want Aunt Margie at the bachelor party, dont you?
