No. of Paragraph 12

The German Federal Cartel Office (FCO) announced that Meta will introduce a new overview of data sharing regulations for users of Facebook and Instagram, addressing concerns by EU antitrust regulators over the company’s data collection services.

Meta plans to introduce a new Accounts center that will inform users about the company’s data-sharing policy and allow customers to make “a largely free and informed decision about whether they want to use Meta’s services separately or in combined form.” Meta will only be able to use the combined data for advertising purposes if users decide to opt into using the services in a combined form.

In an email to Quartz, a Meta spokesperson confirmed the changes would apply to all global users, although specified that the wording of the agreement will be different in Germany, where it will use the word “data” in place of the word “information” to directly address the concerns of the FCO.

“We continue to make it simpler and more convenient for people to communicate and access new experiences across our family of apps,” the Meta company spokesperson told Quartz. “As part of this, we will update our Accounts Centre to be more transparent about how our services work together and to give people more control over these experiences.”
