Facebook announced today new updated tools to protect your privacy. Essentially the service has reportedly consolidated some of the existing settings into a single one screen offering much easier access to its users.
Previously, the Privacy Settings Facebook was a mess, and if you looked for them on mobile you'd find them on 20 different screens. But starting today, users of the mobile app will have to open a page.
The company is reported to have removed some of the confidentiality settings it considers "outdated".
The announcement also states that a new privacy menu is being released, which will contain all the usual privacy and account protection functions.
From the new menu you will be able to set the control ID cardς two factors, limit who can see your posts, and control your ad preferences.
According to Facebook, there is also a new tool that makes it simpler to download your information or delete your account.
All of the above changes came from Facebook only when the scandal with her was revealed Cambridge Analytica. The fact seems to have made the members of the social network more aware, as well as big companies that supported it. Of course, the losses occurred directly on the stock market, as well as in large partnerships of the company.
With these tools, Facebook seeks to restore public trust. The company's goal is also to restore confidence to advertisers and investors, who have increasingly begun to see Facebook as a brand name.
In recent weeks, the Mozilla suspended any advertising on facebook while the bank Nordea announced plans to withdraw its pages from Facebook.
