The optimist in me says these changes have been a long time coming. The skeptic in me says FB is doing this to avoid being regulated.
Anybody with more insight care to comment?
- dssu 9y agoWell just take a look at the techcrunch article published today on how Facebook is not committing to GDPR standards for North American users. https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/04/facebook-gdpr-wont-be-universal/ https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/04/facebook-gdpr-wont-be-univ... It basically says they are going to do the minimal effort required to protect privacy while avoiding regulation.
- rock_hard 9y agoThe TC article is unfortunately misleading. As I posted elsewhere already. GDRP is more then just some rules around what you need to ask users for permission for. It's much bigger and very specific to the EU legal apparatus. It hence makes no sense to ship globally. What you want is for the underlying privacy controls to be available for everyone...which according to Reuters is what FB is doing!
