8 Clear History
In the wake of the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, Facebook has a lot of eyes on it. Its privacy policies and use of user data have come under scrutiny in recent months. And in the interest of regaining user trust, Facebook is rolling out a new privacy feature in a few months.
It’s called Clear History. Like the name suggests, the feature will let Facebook users view all of the data that the firm has collected on them — and then delete all of it in one fell swoop. Of course, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook won’t “be as good” without that data.
There’s a caveat, however: Facebook will still share collective analytics data with apps and websites, but without “storing” the information in a way that can personally identify you. Whatever that means.
