Since this article duplicated the Privacy content at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook, I have copied any missing content to here, and then deleted the Privacy section from that page. You will find more information about the rationale in the Talk section there - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Criticism_of_Facebook.

Just a minor language issue in the title. Errr, ping User:Nihil novi for grammar sanity check :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:01, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Piotrus, I agree with you.

The title, "Privacy concerns of Facebook", implies that it is the Facebook organization that has concerns about privacy; whereas it is persons outside the organization, including users of Facebook, who have, and are expressing, the concerns about privacy on Facebook.

Therefore, the more appropriate title would indeed be "Privacy concerns about Facebook".

Best,

@Piotrus and Nihil novi: While I do also agree "of" is the wrong preposition, "regarding" or "with" is better for consistency. (As for between "regarding" and "with", a requested move may help.) See Special:PrefixIndex/Privacy concerns.

Also, only the talk page was moved by Piotrus. The article was not moved. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 06:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aseleste, I self-reverted my move for now, you are right, I must have missed the namespace. Anyway, I am find with with (Privacy concerns with Facebook). How about Nihil novi? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:51, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The request to rename this article to Privacy concerns with Facebook has been carried out. If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Privacy concerns of Facebook → Privacy concerns with Facebook – Almost a technical move, but per the discussion above, we can also consider privacy concerns regarding Facebook. While there various redirects, the two other existing articles on related topics I found are Privacy concerns regarding Google and Privacy concerns with social networking services and once this is moved, it would be good to standardize the remaining article in the series too. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:28, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Any one of the three prepositions suggested so far – "about", "regarding", "with" – could convey the meaning.

"About", in this context, is synonymous with "concerning"; "having to do with"; "in connection with".

"Regarding", in this context, is synonymous with "about"; "concerning"; "in (or with) regard to".

"With", in this context, is synonymous with "concerning"; "in regard to", which is synonymous with "regarding".

In terms of economy, "with" has an advantage in comprising one syllable, as opposed to two or three with the other two prepositions.

In terms of unambiguity, I would be inclined to rate the three prepositions, in descending order: "regarding", "about", "with".

Thanks.
