Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on stage at the All Things Digital conference, and was quizzed on a variety of important privacy concerns that have been highlighted in recent months. Zuckerberg admitted that over time Facebook's privacy settings had become too complex. "Privacy is a really important issue for us and for the Internet.

Zuckerberg admitted the company has a hard time building products that people use to share information and ensuring that all the products have privacy settings that users can control.
