Facebook strengthens control of personal data after Cambridge Analytica scandal

29/03/2018 (Agence Europe)Mired in the Cambridge Analytica scandal (see EUROPE 11990), Facebook announced new updates on Wednesday 28 March to enable users "to better control their data".  New privacy shortcuts will thus be added to the general menu to enable every user to know what they have shared on line and to erase it, if necessary, "in a few clicks".  The new parameters will give users the possibility to control the advertisements that appear on their newsfeeds or to strengthen the security of their account by using two-factor authentication.  The social network giant furthermore announced additional measures to follow in the coming weeks, including the update of its service conditions and data policy.  (MF)
