*meta recently revised the privacy policy * The official said that the rewriting was not only "easier to understand", but also reflected the company's latest products Regarding this revision, meta emphasized that "we will not add new ways to collect, use or share your data, and we will still not sell your information", mainly adjusting the language and adding examples to help people understand the meaning of each part.
In his comments on the verge, John Davidson, a senior consultant of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said that the commitment of the policy not to share data in new ways is certainly good, but "the problem is that Facebook has collected user data in the industrial field. It has expanded to a huge targeted advertising ecosystem. Therefore, the current situation is detrimental to privacy".
In the past few years (for example, in 2014 and 2018), meta has proposed more than once to make its policies simpler and easier to read. This layout may be the best done so far, but it also helps people understand what they agree - which may be more helpful to meta. Examples are included to help prevent misunderstanding and misunderstanding of the rules, such as the 2012 instagram terms of service update event, when people thought that the service would suddenly start selling everyone's photos.
The new policy applies to Facebook, instagram, Messenger and other meta products, but does not apply to WhatsApp, workplace, Messenger kids or quest devices without facebook accounts (these devices have their own privacy policies).
Meta wrote in the new privacy policy that meta hopes you can understand what information we will collect and how we will use and share it. Therefore, it is recommended that you carefully read our privacy policy. This helps you use meta products in a way that suits you.
The privacy policy describes how we collect, use, share, retain and transmit information. This policy also describes your rights. Each part of the policy lists practical examples and uses simpler and more straightforward language to help you understand our data practices more easily. We also provide links to resources that you can visit to learn more about privacy topics of interest.
It is very important for us to ensure that you know how to control your privacy settings, so we also explained where you can manage your personal information in the meta product settings. You can control your experience.
