Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has denied being caught out by his own website's revamped privacy settings after more than 300 pictures on his page were briefly left open to the public.
The website's new settings allow users to open their profile to friends, friends of friends, or everyone who uses the social networking site.
The changes sparked claims by privacy groups that Facebook was trying to 'trick' its users into sharing more personal information than they normally would.

Following the change on December 9, Zuckerberg's profile was opened up, granting thousands of people access to shots of him partying with his fraternity brothers, having an office Star Wars joust with his girlfriend and lounging around with a teddy bear.
When these were picked up by a number of other websites the Facebook entrepreneur denied he had been caught out.
In a posting on his revamped page he says: 'For those wondering, I set most of my content on my personal Facebook page to be open so people could see it.
'I set some of my content to be more private, but I didn't see a need to limit visibility of pics with my friends, family or my teddy bear
However, he then changed his privacy settings so the photos were only available to friends.
Last week users were up in arms after Facebook seemed to recommend all its 350million members to make personal details available on the web.

Privacy campaigners said the 'unwelcome' changes by the world's most popular social networking site 'nudged' users to share photos, private calendars and status updates with a wider audience through search engines.
Kevin Bankston from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which champions internet users, said: 'These new 'privacy' changes are clearly intended to push Facebook users to publicly share even more information than before.'
Shortly after the new privacy settings were introduced on December 9, blogger Kashmir Hill from the True/Slant website discovered Mr Zuckerberg's profile had become far more public.
Friends of his friends could now view 300 of his previously private photos, his status updates and details on his events calendar.
This revealed, among other things, that Mr Zuckerberg is a fan of Taylor Swift, likes to play with toy light sabers and attended a Great Goat Roast in the autumn.

The privacy changes come as internet search engines become increasingly interested in incorporating user-generated content from social media websites into their search results.
Microsoft have already announced plans to incorporate Facebook messages flagged for the general public into its search engine results.
Facebook details will also become available in Google's new 'real time' updates from next month.
Facebook is also facing competition from rival services like Twitter, in which all information is automatically viewable to the public, unless settings are changed.
Elliot Schrage, Facebook Vice President of Global Communications and Public Policy said: 'Facebook is transforming the world's ability to control its information online by empowering more than 350 million people to personalise the audience for each piece of content they share.'
He said the new privacy features will allow Facebook users to tailor their 'posts' to specified audiences, such as to family members but not work colleagues.
He added the changes will not, in any way, alter Facebook's policies governing the kind of user information that is shared with advertisers.

However Dr Ian Brown from the Oxford Internet institute was critical of the new settings and said many may find sensitive information about themselves on Google.'I don't think Facebook should make so much available by default,' he said
