Facebook brings back a very useful feature that was exploited in a massive hack

Facebook is bringing back a highly useful feature that ended up causing a huge problem for the company and its users.

On Tuesday, Facebook announced that it was reinstating the "View As Public" functionality.

Users will also be able to easily make changes to their publicly available information with a new "Edit Public Profile" button.
