CNNMoney.com reports that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is ending his silence about the recent privacy controversies. He has admitted to making some mistakes and promised to fix the problems.

In a letter Sunday to tech blogger Robert Scoble, Zuckerberg wrote, "I know we've made a bunch of mistakes, but my hope at the end of this is that the service ends up in a better place and that people understand that our intentions are in the right place, and we respond to the feedback from the people we serve."

Zuckerberg also addressed concerns over Facebook's complicated privact controls in an op-ed piece published Monday in the Washington Post.

"There needs to be a simpler way to control your information," he wrote. "In the coming weeks, we will add privacy controls that are much simpler to use. We will also give you an easy way to turn off all third-party services."

These two responses were the first from the CEO over the site's user privacy moves.

The site, which boasts nearly 500 million users, has been under fire in the past few months for confusing privacy policies and technical glitches that exposed users' private data.

In the recent weeks Facebook has been dealing with several technical glitches that exposed users' private data. In early May, a technical mishap allowed a select number of users to view friends' private chats. That incident happened less than three months after some Facebook users received private messages that weren't intended for them.

Zuckerberg says Facebook will address the privacy concern this week.
