Earlier this week, Facebook launched a new feature—Graph Search—that raised some privacy concerns with us. Graph Search allows users to make structured searches to filter through friends, friends of friends, and strangers.

(Facebook also has a new video explaining how to control what shows up in Graph Search.)
