After being guaranteed in early 2018, Facebook’s “clear history” personal privacy tool might lastly be on its method.
Facebook CFO David Wehner on Tuesday stated the business will introduce the function for clearing your surfing history on the social media network later on this year, according to CNBC. A Facebook representative validated the news.
“Broadly, [the feature is] going to offer us some headwinds in regards to having the ability to target as successfully as previously,” Wehner supposedly stated at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference 2019 in San Francisco.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed the personal privacy tool in 2018. In December, the business stated it anticipated to begin checking the function this spring.
The clear-history function will let you see details about apps and sites you have actually utilized and erase information straight from your Facebook account. Wehner supposedly stated the function will make it harder for Facebook to utilize information gathered by 3rd parties to target advertisements to particular groups of users.
