Facebook Lifts Up The Lid β Privacy Tools Now Easier To Find
With the recent controversy that has been going on lately about Facebookβs privacy issue, they have announced that they have made their privacy tools accessible to users and letting them know what exactly is going on.
Facebook Privacy Tools Now Made Easy
With last week being a week of controversy regarding Facebookβs privacy policy, the company have listened to their users and have made data settings and tools easier to find.
Facebook has redesigned their entire settings menu on mobile devices from top to bottom to make things easier to locate. Instead of going through a whole bunch of screens (20 to be precise), theyβre now accessible from a single place. THeyβve also cleaned up outdated settings so that information is clear on what can and canβt be shared with apps.
With the new privacy shortcut, you can control your data with just a few taps. You can add more layers of protection to your account by two-factor authentication, a norm of security measures these days where if someone tries to log into your account from a device that Facebook doesnβt recognize, youβll be asked to confirm whether it was you.
As for controlling your personal information, you can review on what youβve shared and delete it if you want to. This includes posts that youβve previously shared or reacted to, friend requests that youβve sent, and things that youβve searched for on Facebook.
You can also manage who sees your posts and profile information where you can manage things such as who sees your posts and the information you choose to include on your profile.
Besides that, you can now download the data youβve shared on the platform. A secure copy is downloadable and you can even move it to another service. This includes photos youβve uploaded, contacts youβve added to your account, posts on your timeline, and more.
Facebook has said that they will be proposing updates to Facebookβs terms of service and update their data policy to show exactly what data theyβve collected and what do they do with it.
Pokdepinion: As long as there is clarity in the topic, Iβm okay with it (I hope so!). Itβs been a controversial issue.
