Meta is testing a new meta privacy control center across apps
- BySaksham Daga | January 8, 2022
Meta (formerly Facebook) is tinkering with how to notify users of privacy options. The company has changed where and how this information is stored and described over the years, and now centralizes some general privacy and manages questions in one place in the app family. It seems. The new Privacy Center, called the
Privacy Center, is an immediate test available to some US-based Facebook desktop users, but will be rolled out to “more people and apps” in the coming months. If you’re doing limited testing, the new Privacy Information Center is in the Privacy section of the Settings menu. Currently, privacy settings are divided into Facebook privacy shortcuts and privacy check menus. These are far from ideal, but the platform is better than the way these controls are used.
The new Privacy Center falls into five categories: security, sharing, collection, use, and advertising. Meta is still advancing the idea of ”privacy education” as it changes. This is a kind of shorthand that says it’s up to you to make your personal information available to the company if you don’t bother to sort it out. Be wise.
Facebook has traditionally provided users with privacy controls that make it difficult for users to navigate Byzantine, but key settings are often embedded in menus. This has improved significantly, but regardless of recent content, Meta has a personal interest in getting users to share as much data as possible. This position is demonstrated by the company’s significant opposition to Apple’s changes in iOS ad tracking. This limits the app’s ability to track user behavior and is a clear win for consumer privacy.
